...deny knowing about the phone log but said only that she didn't know the time the message was taken. Because Armstrong didn't record the time, the defense will say Stewart didn't lie. The judge, meanwhile, is giving the prosecution little leeway to prove Stewart committed securities fraud by misleading her investors about her ImClone actions. To rehabilitate her credibility, she may take the stand, which could make last week's drama look tame by comparison...
Talk about sins of the father being visited upon the children. For the past two months, Parmalat founder Calisto Tanzi has been in prison on charges that he drove the Italian dairy giant into a €14 billion hole with a complex web of fraud and deception. His daughter Francesca and son Stefano expressed shock at what their devoutly religious father was said to have done. Prosecutors painted a different family portrait last week when the two Tanzi children were arrested on charges of fraudulent bankruptcy and criminal association. Prosecutors contend that Calisto Tanzi's two oldest children, each with...

...Stewart take the stand to try to refute his testimony. Stewart's lawyers would rather she didn't, as she can be a polarizing figure. It's the ultimate gamble, and if she loses it, she could join her friend Waksal, who is imprisoned for securities fraud. In an ironic twist, Waksal's company, ImClone, the source of their troubles, has rebounded. Encouraging research on its colon-cancer drug Erbitux has sent the stock price back up to about $41, after it plunged to as little as $6 in the fall of 2002. This week, as federal prosecutors...
