AUSTIN, Texas -- It's a hall of fame for the infamous -- a collection of artifacts from con men, large and small, who swindled, stole and cheated to get everything from bread money to billions.

The Fraud Museum, an exhibit in an Austin office building, contains a Bernard Madoff engraved cigar box, given to clients as tokens of his appreciation; now-worthless stock certificates from Enron, WorldCom and Adelphia; and a canceled 1975 check from inside-trader Ivan Boesky.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Some Utah state parks may need to close, others should offer fewer services during the winter and some could be privatized to save state money, according to a legislative audit released Tuesday.

The audit was ordered by state lawmakers who were looking for ways to make the state park system more efficient.

Only nine of Utah's 43 state parks generate enough revenue to operate without state funding.
