      --- Johnson & Johnson thought they'd get rid of 61,000 claims that their talc products contain asbestos and cause cancer – the bankruptcy judge said, "Nice try."

      --- The Supreme Court rejected the Sacker family's attempt to win immunity from suits through its company's bankuptcy.

      --- Rudy Giuliani tried to get out from under a $148 million defamation verdict. The judge said, "Not even a nice try."
