...performance, which included two five-game losses, extended the Crimson's losing streak to five. That five-game streak is separated from an earlier six-game losing steak by only a win over Manhattan two weekends...
Last week's bailout raised twin fears in Washington and on Wall Street as tall as Manhattan's Twin Towers. The first: that Long Term Capital's financial troubles are shared by many of the country's 4,000 hedge funds--lightly regulated and often secretive, high-risk vehicles for sophisticated investors.

The main narrative unfolds in flashback, as Ellen is being questioned by a district attorney about the possibility that she assisted in her cancer-stricken mother's death. Through her answers...
