It finally happened. Donny and Marie Osmond have signed on for eight months of shows at the Flamingo hotel in Las Vegas (Page A2).

After the game ended in the wee hours, fans could be heard mumbling, “No more cowbell. No more cowbell.”

MasterCard disclosed that its CEO made $11 million last year. The financial package will eventually be worth a lot more. The company pays him over time in monthly installments at an obscene 23 percent interest rate.
