...funny thing about bull markets is that by the time you're seeing new highs, often the ride is all but over. Last spring the Dow flirted with a record but collapsed into a dismaying summer swoon. Will the autumn surge be another false positive? Consider the odds: over the past 100 years, half of all sustained market rallies (measured by the Standard & Poor's 500) ended without reaching their reigning all-time high or dried up shortly thereafter, according to the Leuthold Group...
...talk to a girl in line at the canteen, I.J.T. members will tell me to get my food and get out," says Rehan Iqbal, 25, an M.B.A. student, who is sitting on the floor of a hallway with female classmate Malka Ikran, 22.

I think we may be seeing an unarticulated return to an opening of that old tap." The young are the ones most easily inebriated. Europeans entering university this autumn have no personal memory of the joyous destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989, let alone the preceding 40-year struggle against the Soviet system during which the survival of a free Europe depended upon an alliance with the U.S. - something their parents felt in their bones even if they...
...foreground. After settling into each film, one’s ears become attuned to the subtlest of sounds. Becky Allen, a longtime collaborator of Lockhart’s, was responsible for recording the sound for the films. In some of the films, one can hear the crisp crackle of autumn leaves; in others, voices are reduced to murmurs. Most of what the children say is unintelligible, but at times one can interpret the general tenor of their exclamations. The shifts between chirping birds, squealing kids on swings, roaring airplanes overhead, and mechanical rifle noises do seem unordinary, as does...
