...foreign stock markets, including that of battered Japan, which has to turn up at some point. You could, of course, simply ride this thing out. But prices remain grossly inflated by most yardsticks. At best we are entering a long period of sub-10% annual average stock gains--as, ahem, Mr. Greenspan has been suggesting...
...average of 31 in. today. Doesn't sound like much, but remember that the trend in human girth is running opposite: Americans are getting bigger. The cush has been taken out of the cushions too, from 4 in. to 1/2 in., in order to make room for--ahem--more seats. "Transportation is now mass transit," says consultant Boyd.

Agents traced the bills to a print shop in the basement of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism and last month arrested four suspects, including three Columbia dropouts (ahem, they were not journalism students).

I have a serious side, and I have a funny bone in me," says ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER of his decision to keep making a comedy every other movie, despite the fact that his last, Junior, was, ahem, terminated quickly. "We learned that one cannot turn 180[degrees] away from what people like to see you as," says the star philosophically. His next venture into the world of yuks is Jingle All the Way, in which he plays a harried father trying to find the season's most popular...
