Cops Probe Death of Jam Master Jay

NEW YORK — Police investigated Friday whether a feud sparked the fatal shooting of hip-hop legend Jam Master Jay, even as skeptical friends and family mourned the beloved music pioneer from Run-DMC.

Debt Collectors May Subcontract for IRS

LOS ANGELES — As always, the tax man cometh, but he soon might not be government issue.

Uncle Sam collects roughly $2 trillion in taxes every year, but an additional $220 billion never gets paid. The Treasury Department believes it could collect a good chunk of that money if it went after deadbeat taxpayers more aggressively. The question is: Who should make those calls?

Private debt-collecting firms like Allied Interstate are hoping the government will hire them to do the job they say they can do better than anyone.

NEW YORK — As the holiday selling season approaches, mall owners are seeing green, even as their retailer tenants see red.

Smokers Fined for Lighting Up in Tokyo Streets

TOKYO (Reuters) - Lighting up on Tokyo's streets became hazardous to more than health on Friday as the first luckless Japanese were fined for smoking in some downtown areas.
Smoking on the street was banned in busy parts of central Tokyo's Chiyoda ward a month ago, but a system of fines--up to $163 for multiple offences--began on November 1.

Singer Barry White Planning for Kidney Transplant

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Soul singer Barry White, battling kidney failure, is resting comfortably while doctors conduct tests to find a suitable transplant donor among his eight children, a spokesman said on Thursday.
The 58-year-old entertainer was hospitalized last month for kidney dialysis, but he is now at home and undergoing dialysis ever other day on an out-patient basis as his condition improves, White's manager, Ned Shanker, told Reuters.
