FEATURES Grin But Don't Bear It BY JAMES J. CRAMER The good news is (you didn't bet everything on Priceline, did you?), you've still got a nest egg. But is there any way to keep it safe and growing in this tumultuous market? James Cramer, New York's finance columnist (who happens to have made 38 percent for his hedge fund last year), shares his secrets for building a portfolio that can withstand whatever the economy can dish out. (And for those who've understandably lost their nerve, he also rates the best mutual funds.)
If the Glove Fits Johnnie Cochran has made up his mind: After Puffy Combs's acquittal (and he's sure there'll be an acquittal), he's giving up criminal defense and getting back to his civil-rights roots. And O.J.'s former lawyer says he's giving it up with a clean conscience.
Cirque Master Le Cirque, the city's leading proponent of food as performance, has a pair of new stars. Introducing (drum roll, please) Alsatian-born Pierre Schaedelin, a master of the classic repertoire, and pastry chef Patrice Caillot, from Provence -- via Las Vegas.
