...traits are emblematic of this amazing century: a paranoia bred from his having been a refugee from the Nazis and then the Communists; an entrepreneurial optimism instilled as an immigrant to a land brimming with freedom and opportunity; and a sharpness tinged with arrogance that comes from being a brilliant mind on the front line of a revolution...
Price is also known as a scalp collector. That's why Dow Jones chairman Peter Kann is seeing his name in print these days. A former Journal reporter and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Kann is considered a brilliant journalist but a less than stellar CEO. While the company has seen 9% annual average revenue growth over the past decade, its 1996 earnings of $190 million are only a shade better than those of 1986, $183 million.

There is something truly magical about holiday choral music done well, and the Holden Choirs' concert last Saturday in Sanders was no exception.

The comedic effect, when contrasted with the stiffly suited business executives of the male chorus...
...blockbuster crowd, a generally warm-weather group, likes familiarity. They so love it when a movie has a number at the end of its title that, in cases like ID4, they will actually add one where none exists. They like attractive, squabbling, invariably "brilliant" scientists who do stupid things: piss off dinosaurs, drive into tornadoes, piss off dinosaurs AGAIN. Plus, these people hate Emma Thompson, because she was in that dumb pregnant-man movie with their pal Ah-nuld. What was up with that...
