...five hairs—which is four more than he has right now—hugging some crazy lady on ‘The Price Is Right.’” Several paragraphs later, I poked fun at Donato’s tight, early-’90s pants, then I ended the piece with a flash-forward to the present, when Donato’s “hair and white-washed jeans are mere memories once more...
...reason the Shanghai stock market cratered Thursday is that this has happened before: in the early '90s, authorities in Beijing let inflation get out of hand, and a hard landing ensued.

Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page unseated MSN and Yahoo with a mere algorithm—proof of the economy’s democratic nature. Tech fortunes just seem less exploitative, built on mainframes and lines of code rather than the backs of unskilled laborers...
