...internal HMC documents obtained by TheCrimson suggest that during the five year periodbetween 1986 and 1991, Aeneas' compound annualreturn averaged only 5.4 percent. That would putthe high risk division's returns not only belowHMC's internal benchmark of 11.1 percent for thatperiod, but below the 6.9 percent for that period,but below the 6.9 percent a very safe and highlyconservative investment in 10-year U.S. TreasuryNotes would have brought...

...there is some jazz content." Even such a flexible standard becomes a little restrictive by the early '50s, < when Cole turned more and more toward often wonderfully arranged orchestrations by Nelson Riddle, Billy May, Pete Rugolo and others.

Yeltsin's rash behavior and undemocratic instincts could turn out to be huge obstacles as he prepares to face...
Saturn officials have said their benchmark is the popular Honda Civic. Does Saturn make the grade? We will have to wait to see if Saturn is as durable, but I have driven the Civic and my impression is that the Saturn's performance, handling and amenities all measure up to its Japanese rival. The Saturns have been designed for easy servicing too, right down to the transparent, easy-to-read fluid reservoirs under the hood and the clearly labeled fuse boxes and dipsticks. Someone at Saturn has been doing a lot of thinking about what the buyer wants, and that...
