More fun & games...THE INGENUITY IN ACCOUNTING AWARD To Donald J. Trump, real estate developer, would-be president of the United States and chairman of Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts. In announcing its third-quarter results on Oct. 25, the company said its net income had more than doubled from the corresponding quarter a year earlier. The stock rose more than 8 percent on the news. Only later, when a fixed-income analyst tried to delve into the numbers, did it emerge that the rise in revenue was really just an example of accounting moxie. Upon the closing of an Official All-Star Cafe in the Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, the casino was given use of the restaurant's fixtures and memorabilia for four months. Presto change-o, and Trump added $17.2 million to its revenues. nytimes.com
