But they are close enough to have triggered a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, a probe by the New York Stock Exchange and a class action suit.The focus of all this concern is a...

Actually, it is smaller than Plains and though its name is Star Town, it is less a town than a crossroads with a couple of stores, a gas station and, at most, 150 inhabitants scattered there and on farms around the neighboring North Carolina countryside. Her father still lives among them."You won't believe it," says Madeline Fry MacBean, who as Roslyn...

MY CLOTHES ARE not funky, they decorate the streets," said fabric artist Maria da Conceicao. When not decorating the streets - on the back of her patrons - the costumes are meant to hang on the walls, not in the closet. The unique hand-made clothing Conceicao creates is actually "wearable art."Thirty of Conceicao's most recent designs (priced from $80 to $280) will hang on the walls of The Washington Project for the Arts, 1227 G St. NW, at a...
