...fourth, he picked up four yards on a first-and-goal from the 5. Although he failed to get into the endzone on his next carry and the Crimson eventually fell one inch short of the goal line, Murphy believes his quickness and mobility may be a real asset to the squad...
...First Ladies and Laddies Political spouses are very important [Sept. 24]. The American voter is looking for a candidate whose significant other is intelligent, compassionate and, most important, an asset to the U.S. We don't want a President's spouse to be outspoken, domineering or suffering from Leona Helmsley syndrome - an inflated sense of superiority.

...ramifications of Radiohead's pay-what-you-want experiment will take time to sort out, but for established artists at least, turning what was once their highest-value asset - a much-buzzed-about new album - into a loss leader may be the wave of the future. Even under the most lucrative record deals, the ones reserved for repeat, multi-platinum superstars, the artists can end up with less than 30% of overall sales revenue (which often is then split among several band members). Meanwhile, as record sales decline, the concert business is booming. In July, Prince gave away his album...
