...Though Lieberman's faith has deepened over the years, he was Orthodox from birth, the eldest of three children raised in a devout household in Stamford, Conn., where his father owned a liquor store. In high school, he was so observant that although his classmates voted him king of the prom, he wasn't there to take his throne beside the queen that night--the prom was held on the Jewish Sabbath...
...Though the evening's purpose was primarily to raise money for Hillary, it was also designed as a tribute to Bill. Mary Steenburgen reminisced about her early years in Arkansas with the fading President. Whoopi Goldberg thanked the President for allowing her into the White House (and not checking inside her bag on her way out). Cher sang - or at least lip-synced - "Believe."

Buyers deposit money in an online account that transfers funds to the seller when a transaction is completed. Unlike credit cards, though, most P2Ps have not been offering fraud protection. That's changing in light of scams in which customers thought they were buying things like hard drives and digital cameras but got stiffed. Varying levels of protection are now available...
