...outperformed 64% of general stock funds. Secondly, there are now dozens of choices in index funds. You don't have to buy just the S&P 500, by far the most popular and thus worrisome in the index world. There are index funds for the broad market (Wilshire 5000), small companies (Russell 2000 and S&P 600), mid-size companies (S&P 400) and overseas companies (Morgan Stanley International). Any of those offer cover should the S&P 500 tumble hardest...
...behind the Mountain Goats on his own terms stands as a giant of the bedroom-music scene. No matter that his following bears more resemblance to a secret club than music fans. Or that his set list is a conglomeration of travel itineraries and Latin aphorisms. With a broad smile and a warm hello, the club president is open and welcoming, and his concerts are large circles of friends who are all too eager to invite you into their slightly abnormal lives...
...There is broad agreement in Bedford that a merger would make sense. Services at the two hospitals overlap, and beds go empty.

She left the question open, but advocates like Laurence Tribe, who argued the New York case, read her words as suggesting possible constitutional exceptions to state bans. Several of the remaining concurring...
China will certainly be judged on how it deals with Hong Kong's political aspirations. But important as those are, Hong Kong's survival and well-being depend more on how well Beijing lives up to the broad Western values guaranteed by the Basic Law, a kind of miniconstitution it approved along with Britain in April 1990. China's leaders put their names to a document maintaining the rule of law, an independent judiciary, civil liberties including the right to peaceful protest, a free press, continuation of the capitalist system, a separate identity in international economic bodies, local control over...
