Judge becomes national legal star
A Cuyahoga County judge has exposed a "dirty little secret" of asbestos litigation that is rocking a multibillion-dollar industry. Judge Harry Hanna, who oversees the huge asbestos docket in Common Pleas Court, issued a scathing opinion last week barring the prominent Brayton Purcell law firm of Novato, Calif., from practicing in his courtroom. The firm represents the estate of Harry Kananian, a Broadview Heights man who died in 2000. Brayton Purcell "chose to weave a seemingly endless web of deceit," customizing each of its claims to fit Kananian - and not always telling the truth, Hanna wrote. "In my 45 years of practicing law, I never expected to see lawyers lie like this," Hanna said in an interview from his chambers in the Old Lakeside Courthouse.

In the civilian component of the TSP, employees covered by the Federal Employees' Retirement System and the Civil Service Retirement System can contribute to the TSP.

Mr. Katsav requested the leave of absence after Israel's attorney general said he had enough evidence to charge Mr. Katsav with rape and abuse of power. The allegations are based on the testimony of four women who worked for the veteran Israeli politician. Mr. Katsav has served as Israel's ceremonial head of state since 2000. In an emotional news conference Wednesday night, Mr.
