...continuation of the phenomenal 1998 rise in gross domestic product--a sizzling 6% annual rate in the fourth quarter, 3.9% for the year. But Cohen, true to her reputation as Wall Street's leading optimist, thinks the U.S. is in a "virtuous cycle" that will keep spinning, if a bit more slowly. The U.S., she notes, has created a stunning 15.5 million jobs since the end of 1993, even after subtracting job losses due to corporate downsizing. And two-thirds of these jobs pay more than the median wage for all U.S. jobs. By no coincidence, average U.S. real income...
...found that 34% of babies delivered at 24 weeks can live).

A government report--the first since the public outcry over "drive-by deliveries"--finds that the average hospital stay for a vaginal delivery has inched up about half a day, from 1.7 days in 1995 to 2.1 today. That's still something of a bum's rush compared with 1980, when the average time in the hospital was 3.2 days...

Todd'sselection was something of a surprise to mostobservers, as he had no experience in UniversityHall and had never even met many of his futurecolleagues, including Dean of the College Harry R.Lewis...
