...guidance. The New Britain, Conn., superior court offers free use of phones, computers and a "do-it-yourself divorce guide" translated into Spanish. Florida has a pro se help desk in each of its 20 circuit courts. Two weeks ago, 130 judges, court administrators and lawyers met in Orlando to discuss what else they could do to help pro se litigants--without encouraging more people to join them...
...feature as a moneyman--what separates him from those who've gone before him. People like Wasserman were multimillionaires before they got into politics. McAuliffe has done it the other way, using his political contacts to become a multimillionaire. In 1995 he acquired a bankrupt home-building business in Orlando, Fla., with the help of American Financial Corp. after soliciting its owner, Carl Lindner, for the D.N.C. "People like to do politics with me, and they like to do business," he says. Now that he's worth tens of millions, he says he's in a position to meet...
...ecstasy taking--and the law enforcement under way to end it--has been accompanied by breathlessness. "It appears that the ecstasy problem will eclipse the crack-cocaine problem we experienced in the late 1980s," a cop told the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Nike hopes to reschedule; Woods says he won't budge. Two days later, Boston Red Sox star shortstop Nomar Garciaparra canceled a Dunkin' Donuts shoot at Fenway, his home ballpark. And director John Waters would not cross the line in Brooklyn to appear in a commercial...
...commission on legal problems for the elderly. "No decision is a decision, usually for less appropriate, more expensive services and more agony for family members." If the parents haven't disclosed any information, "it is a nightmare to unwind the details of the estate," says Michael Davis, an Orlando, Fla., financial planner. "Then the onus is on the child, who not only has lost a parent but now also has this terrible burden"--one that is both financial (paying expenses out of pocket, which may not be reimbursed for months) and emotional (guessing what a parent wanted...
