wreck: search
I was almost five when I lost my cousin and uncle in a car wreck. I was too young to fully understand what had happened, but the memories remained. The lives of my aunt and two cousins who survived that night were greatly affected. But when I was in the hospital with my mother, visiting my aunt, I heard a loud commotion from a room down the hall. There were two policemen guarding the door and I could hear the nurses trying to subdue the man in the room. I learned that he was the one who had been responsible for the wreck. He had been drunk and had run a stop sign. For some reason, his story was the one I wanted to tell. Specifically, I wanted to tell the story of the surviving son - the imagined son in the novel, Cliff, the shame that shaped him and the guilt he felt for being alive.

How did the world's financial system get into such a mess? It's tempting to blame specific politicians, decisions and laws (or the lack thereof), and leave it at that.

The Wall Street meltdown has left lawyers bloodied along with the Masters of the Universe who not only thought they could do no wrong with all their fancy-pants packaged debt but also insisted they be paid most of the money in the universe to prove it. Bad luck, guys. Game over. The Lehmans, Merrills, AIG train wreck has left lawyers in New York and London both dazed and confused, but mostly out of pocket and worried. Proposed law mergers are being terminated and the legal landscape in the New York-London legal power centres is now becoming reshaped, more akin to the surface of Mars with a more level field of vision, pock marked with craters where former clients have died. Suddenly relationships and alliances are all over the place. As Lehman’s 145 in house lawyers turn out the lights, outside lawyers are relying on personal relationships

Microsoft is suing delivery service DHL for their refusal to compensate the boys in Redmond for the destruction of over 21,000 Xboxes in a Texas train derailment. The consoles were due for Hong Kong when the train, carrying two large containers of Xboxes, went off the tracks, sustaining a substantial amount of water and impact damage and, interestingly, "pilfering." Microsoft is seeking $2 million in compensation for DHL's negligence. That the phrase "fiery train wreck" is missing from the report makes me think it wasn't as exciting as it could've been. Imagine the headlines! [PC World]
