Gordon, however, points out that if wage increases cut into profits, that is good news for workers, at least those who stay off the unemployment lines. Labor is likely to recapture some of the share of national income it lost to profits in the early '90s. To the extent that wage increases run ahead of price boosts, workers' real incomes will also rise absolutely as well as relatively. And that is likely to happen, despite the fact that most of the economists expect inflation to quicken a bit from its current astonishingly slow pace--an annual rate of less than...
...American independents in the '90s. Think of what U.S. films would be like--no, don't, it's too depressing--without the emergence of off-Hollywood auteurs like Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy), David O. Russell (Flirting with Disaster), Noah Baumbach (Kicking and Screaming), Kasi Lemmons (Eve's Bayou), the brothers Hughes (Dead Presidents) and Wachowski (Bound) and, of course, the dark lord Tarantino.

Brother's Gonna Work It Out includes several songs frequently mixed by the Dust Brothers during their early shows. Samples from DBX, Serotonin Project and Dubtribe Sound System all provide glimpses into the past of the Chemical Brothers...
Americans love to do things for themselves. It's cheaper, faster and more satisfying. Just as homeowners in the 1980s learned to go to Home Depot, individual investors in the '90s have learned that they can get online almost all the information that used to be available only to the high rollers. And small investors can now trade for the same low commissions that giant institutions get--$8 for 100 shares, vs. the $100 or more that Merrill and other full-service brokers typically charge...
