...showing signs of flattening as a correction of the correction set in. None of this changes the long-term outlook; Greenspan is still genuinely worried about an "asset bubble" (although he?ll never tell how many points make a bubble), and the markets are still headed for a tepid autumn overall as Y2K uncertainties loom larger and larger. But the Fed chairman also knows how this market loves to panic about numbers, and he wants everybody to just calm down.

Rather, the temperature chills...
...transition to my new life is almost complete. This year, instead of rushing off to every comp and introductory meeting for every interesting club on campus, I'm taking a low-key tack. And I've been making time to take walksolong walks along the river, in the fresh autumn breeze, with nothing but my thoughts and the scenery. Sometimes, I can even hear nature singing Simon and Garfunkel: "Slow down, you're moving too fast you've got to make the morning last...
