CHEAT SHEET
MUST READS FROM ALL OVER
BOOKS
1. Mortenson Sued for Fraud
A new legal shoe has dropped in the scandal surrounding disgraced 'Three
Cups of Tea' author and international humanitarian Greg Mortenson-this
time in the form of a lawsuit that seeks the return of donations and
damages on behalf of donors to his charity, the Central Asia Institute.
One of the two plaintiffs wants her donation back, and the other a $12
refund for her copy of the book. The Daily Beast's Mike Giglio reports.
Plus, view the court filing.

THE NUMBERS
2. Unemployment Up to 9 Percent
Not bad, but not great, either: The U.S. economy added 244,000 jobs in
April, enough to exceed forecasts, but not enough to keep the
unemployment rate from rising from 8.8 percent to 9 percent. Analysts
expected a gain of 185,000 jobs, and private payrolls alone beat their
prediction, accounting for 200,000 of the economy's new jobs. The end of
March wrapped up the first quarter, in which the economy grew at a tepid
1.8 percent. Middle East turmoil sent the price of oil up, which reduces
the amount of money consumers have to spend. The tsunami in Japan led to
supply delays that filtered down into American manufacturing. "Even with
these distortions accounted for, the result was still poor, and suggests
some slowing of employment growth," a Goldman Sachs analyst said.
