Since September 11, the media have been lost in the fog of war. Lacking official answers, certain questions hang in the air, fostering conspiracy theories and eluding rational consensus. Weary of the search for objectivity, Press Clips kicks around 10 questions to which journalists either cannot or will not deliver straight answers. As the proverb goes, "Those who say, do not know. Those who know, do not say."
Bankruptcies rocket 19%, break record
WASHINGTON - A record 1.45 million Americans filed for personal bankruptcy protection in 2001, and business filings, including the largest-ever by Enron Corp., jumped 13 percent last year, according to data released by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
The number of personal bankruptcies last year breaks the previous high mark of 1.4 million in 1998 and represents a 19 percent jump over the previous year.
