Bank of America Corp., Wachovia Corp. and other major banks have

information may be at risk because of a scheme in which former bank
employees allegedly sold account numbers and balances to a man who
then sold the data to collection agencies.

A price worth paying?
May 19th 2005
From The Economist print edition
America's response to Enron and other scandals was the Sarbanes-Oxley
law. It is costing
plenty—but is it working?
THE Sarbanes-Oxley statute, which the United States enacted in an
atmosphere of extraordinary agitation in 2002, is one of the most
influential—and controversial—pieces of corporate legislation ever to
have hit a statute book. Its original aim, on the face of it, was
modest: to improve the accountability of managers to shareholders, and
hence to calm the raging crisis of confidence in American capitalism
aroused by the scandals at Enron, WorldCom and other companies. The
law's methods, however, were anything but modest, and its implications,
for good or ill, are going to be far-reaching.

Gmail's Lack of Folders
Scores Points With Readers
May 13, 2005 2:12 p.m.
I usually have a good sense of what sort of mail will come in after a
column1. I was astonished, though, at both the volume and passion of the
mail1 responding to Monday's piece about Gmail, and its lack of a
sub-folder style hierarchy to organize email.
