Fishing on the other side of the Pond: What to do when you are the victim of a faraway, non-paying business associate *
On the face of it, Tennessee resident Mort Walco looked like a stand-up guy, with a good reputation.

Garber on Business: Safe-guarding your reputation *
Should you worry about your reputation? What is your good name worth to you in business? They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but these days the maxim should be amended to "…no fury like a journalist deceived." [More]
