Inside the sedan Jimmy Cayne, the CEO of Bear Stearns, was close to death. At dawn Cayne's wife had placed an emergency call to his physician, Dr. Jay Meltzer, and when Meltzer arrived at the couple's Park Avenue apartment, Cayne, then 73, was drowsy and desperately weak and had no appetite. His blood pressure was dangerously low. He was breathing very rapidly and deeply. Meltzer suspected sepsis. Rather than call an ambulance, Cayne asked for a car, in part because he feared that a public disclosure about his health could further damage the firm - a firm whose stock price had already dropped close to 27% (from $143 to $105 a share) since two of its highly leveraged hedge funds had imploded in June.Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:39:00 EDThttp://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20220970,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnnhttp://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20220970,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnnIt's all for charity, of course, as the Oscar winner settles in for a week of parties and forumsMon, 25 Aug 2008 14:57:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/20/cards.cold.cases/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/20/cards.cold.cases/index.html#cnnSTCTextWhile inmates in jails across New York pass the time by playing card games -- poker, gin rummy and solitaire -- they may also be helping crack cold cases.Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:01:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1827716,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1827716,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsFor over a decade, chess and bridge enthusiasts have lobbied the IOC to allow them to compete in the Games.

But when Steve Dannenmann strides across the bland wine-colored carpet in the upstairs ballroom after downing a $12.50 T-bone in the coffee shop, he doesn't see the leaky ceiling and the deserted expanse full of stale air. He sees television cameras, bright lights and hordes of poker fans stomping their feet on steel bleachers. He hears them chanting his name. That's what it was like in this room six months ago, when his life changed forever.
