Of course, it shines a light on the companies in the news. On the right, half-way down the page, find a dialog box to search the Web site by keyword.

CBS MARKETWATCH

One of my daily reads, CBS MarketWatch, has a Scandal Sheet to help us keep abreast of the latest news in this growing arena. The hot sheet is organized by Charged and Under Investigation. The scandal sheet delineates the Allegations, Status and 2001 Reported Compensation. Nice and concise.
