...business. More than 1.2 million illegals--Mexicans, Central Americans, Chinese and a smattering of Europeans--poured through here last year.

As a result, many illegals are heading west, to Nogales, Ariz. In the Azueta plaza where the coyotes meet their pollos (chickens), the smugglers say a bounty has been put on Barnett's head. Barnett was warned of these threats by the Cochise sheriff but says, "I'll just...
...TESTS Researchers from the John Wayne Cancer Center in Santa Monica, Calif., are working on developing biological markers that could identify microscopic tumors as they travel through the blood. As many as 20% of women with early breast cancer whose tumor has not, as far as anyone can tell, spread to the lymph nodes have a recurrence of the malignancy after their treatment. Current thinking is that they must already have had so-called micrometastases in their bloodstream and that a blood test might eventually uncover the problem ahead of time.

There are exceptions, like Grandma's bull-call spread. That's a fairly conservative play in which you buy one long-term call option and sell another at a higher strike price. You lock in most of the difference--though the stock must go up, and if it goes way up, you lose the excess gain. If you've got a big portfolio, odds are there is an options strategy for you. Talk...
