...last week that none of these charges "has anything to do with Mr. McGreevey." But many people--including Kushner's brother Murray; Robert Yontef, a former Kushner accountant; and at least one state senator--have raised questions about Kushner's political donations over the years. In a February 2003 suit, for instance, Yontef alleged that Kushner asked him to conceal use of the firm's holdings to make campaign gifts. He also said Kushner gave money in partners' names without their knowledge...
...says Kushner actually tried to have another prostitute entrap Yontef, who didn't take the bait. Theodore Moskowitz, Yontef's lawyer, says his client had no idea the woman's proposition had been orchestrated: "He thought it was funny. He called his wife on his way home." Yontef's suit against Kushner was dropped earlier this year as part of a settlement. But last month Kushner agreed to pay a $508,900 fine to the Federal Election Commission for various mistakes...
...actively values (a good time) will eventually be bridged. We will finally learn that while no news may be good news, the converse is certainly not true.

...WILL OTHERS FOLLOW SUIT? Mark Chopko, general counsel for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, calls the bankruptcy an "act of desperation," though one a "handful" of dioceses might consider.

But the hearings could also become high theater, the diocese's fiscal and administrative exposure could breed further investigation, and a loss on the parish...
That record may not stand long. In this era of extreme sports--when even an 80-year-old former President dons a skydiving suit and jumps out of a plane to celebrate his birthday--big-wave surfers have set their sights on a loftier, more hubris-laden goal: a 100-ft. wave. "Twenty years ago, no one would ever have conceived of [riding] a 100-ft. wave," says Sam George, editor of Surfer magazine. "But the surfers that are really at the vanguard today are confident they can ride [one]." In 2001 they were further emboldened in their quest when...
