...wish I could just enjoy it. This newly reignited bull market in stocks is minting millionaires from Wall Street to Silicon Valley. Normal folks, who have found it tough to get a decent raise in the stingy 1990s, are benefiting too by using mutual funds to build nest eggs that they hope will fund their kids' college educations and their own retirement. It's all very exciting and, like a pot of Mom's ham bone and string beans, a nourishing meal for anyone with enough courage to sit at the table...

...this is the lean, fat-free 1990s, and superpremium ice-cream sales have been flatter than Nebraska, which makes Ben & Jerry's just another company with a management problem. So forget all the sugary explanations heard since CEO Robert Holland said on Sept. 27 that he would resign. The party line: Holland accomplished his mission, solving production problems and launching critical expansions into new products and countries; now the company needs a CEO with greater marketing skills...
