[edit] Tritium

If you live in the UK, you can buy a glowring keychain [url: http://www.gadgetstuff.com/product.asp?id=10705&cid=2 ] for about £10. But the selling sites say that these atomic keychains can't be legally sold outside the UK. [url: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/12/07/glowring_returns/]. The reason they glow for 10 years is that contain tritium. [url: http://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/tritium.htm ]

Tritium was once used in Swatch watches, resulting in only negligible exposure to watch wearers, in comparison with background radiation levels [pdf] [4]

[edit] Wyly brothers

Maybe an article - they seem to be newsworthy, given their wealth and involvement in politics.

[6] [7] [8] [9]

Charles and Sam Wyly, who the Center for Public Integrity found in 2000 were the ninth-largest contributors to President Bush.

Mr. Johnson and Mr. Saban, who are portrayed as victims in the report, are scheduled to testify today before the Senate Permanent Investigations subcommittee. They are expected to say that professional advisers assured them their deals to avoid taxes were more likely lawful than not. The Wyly brothers told the committee that they would invoke their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and thus were not called to testify. The report characterizes them as active participants in tax schemes. The report also dissects deals by the Wyly brothers of Texas, showing how they made at least $190 million through stock option exercises offshore but had yet to pay taxes on most of the money. They then borrowed against their offshore accounts to buy jewelry, pay for portraits of family members, buy homes and operate properties named Rosemar

[edit] Wes Santee

Despite his being one of three main characters in The Perfect Mile (the others are Roger Bannister and John Landy, he doesn't have his own wikipedia article. y’s Circle R Ranch, LL Ranch, Stargate Horse Farm, Cottonwood Galleries and 36 Malibu Colony.

William Brewer, a Dallas lawyer for the Wylys, said that "The Wylys believe they have paid all taxes due." He also said "And in any event, as the report makes clear, the Wylys were counseled by an armada of lawyers, brokers, financial professionals and offshore service providers to ensure that they were at all times fully meeting their obligations."
