...civil rights work-and the two "satisfying" years in the Ford Cabinet-the portly Coleman, 61, has spent most of his career as a high-salaried advocate for corporate clients like Ford and IBM.

Griffith relied on an arsonist turned informant: Merrill H. Klein, 53, a self-styled "business consultant" who worked as a "broker" for landlords eager to torch their property. After pleading guilty...
...secure at least one positive sign: the Arabs genuinely want to keep talking. Nonetheless, the odds of a Geneva Conference by October are virtually nil, though Vance still hopes that a reunion will occur by the end of the year That, however, will depend upon a tremendous amount of work-and luck...
