...family's got an entire entertainment and leisure budget," says Michael Pachter, an analyst who tracks video games at the securities firm Wedbush Morgan. "You're going to see a shift from high-cost forms of entertainment to low." Parents may cancel a Christmas ski trip that would cost about $40 per hour, the logic goes, and instead spring for Nintendo's Wii Fit so the family can do some virtual skiing through the long, cold winter at a cost of $1 per hour...
...annals of U.S. espionage, there are few groups more secretive than the National Security Agency (NSA), the covert Defense Department organization that illegally tapped the phones of U.S. citizens in the frenzied, fearful wake of Sept. 11, 2001.

First, you seem to have forgotten D. Zachary Tanjeloff ’08, avid entrepreneur and party-thrower, whose name is locally, nationally, and globally recognizable. Another alumnus that should surely be included is Eugene M. Plotkin ’00, a research analyst for Goldman Sachs who was savvy enough to make $6.7 million before a judge sentenced him to 57 months in prison for something silly like “insider trading.” It would also be preposterous to skip Frederick H.
