...years ago, when Marx was discussing this case with a former Dutch ballerina named Joyce Vanderveen, she challenged his theory as implausible, and the two of them decided to investigate further. They discovered that Millette, who was found drowned shortly after Bern's death, suffered not from a coma but from acute schizophrenia. But nothing shook the finding of suicide until Marx met a minor comedian who had been a drinking pal of retired MGM security chief Whitey Hendry's. Hendry, shortly before his death, told this pal that he had accompanied Mayer to Bern's house that first morning...
Still, the RTC found that as much as $4 billion can be pared from the cost of those transactions, mostly by prepaying notes and taking back bad assets. Trouble is, it will take $18 billion to $20 billion in operating cash to do it. And it may push 17 of the shakier institutions back into insolvency. As before, a political unwillingness to face the true magnitude of bailing out the thrifts, and put up the money for it, means that the costs will remain obscured -- and will probably continue to rise...

They turned out to be not a couple of Mob gunmen, as first thought, but the Menendezes' swaggering sons: Lyle...
...hand: the murder was too messy, and hit men rarely kill the wife of their target. On the other hand, if the brothers' greed was the motive, they would have had to kill both parents to inherit their $14 million estate. Other pieces soon fell into place: investigators found a screenplay that Erik wrote about a young man who murders his very rich parents for their money. A home- computer disk thought to contain the father's revised will was mysteriously erased. Far from appearing crushed with grief, after the slayings the boys set off on a $700,000 shopping...
