Last year's results suggest the gap is widening, indicating that something more than fees is the problem. Ironically, no one seems to pin it on the influx of thirtysomething fund managers hired as part of the industry's explosive growth. "In a bull market like this, youth is an asset," argues Michael Lipper, president of Lipper Analytical. The young have no recollection of, and thus no fear of, a declining market. That translates into being fully invested and having got the most out of stocks during this exceptional rally...
...which all knobs are subjected to a certain amount of hazing--a system Conroy, Citadel class of '67, described in his book as a "psychic rape." For one thing, even some important alumni are furious about the scandal. "Don't give us heritage and tradition and all that bull___," Hampton Walker, the head of the Citadel's alumni association, told the South Carolina Post and Courier last week, blasting the school's administration. "Do something about the problems." Already, the school has received E-mail from many people saying they will never hire a Citadel graduate, while federal funds...
...question is, How quickly will Hollywood release movie titles for this costly and unproved platform? About 100 DVD titles--including, ominously, zero from home-video-titan Disney--should come out this year (a few highlights: Raging Bull, Twister, Legends of the Fall and Tony Bennett's mtv Unplugged), which is a lot fewer than this new medium needs in the long run but more support than the infant CD industry got in its rookie year, 1983, when Sony moved a mere 35,000 players.

"I've always had good legs," said Branson. Good taste is another matter entirely. The nerve of either of them to wear white...
...bull or a bear of a man, with a slightly shambling gait and a dented cannonball of a head on which a hard derby hat was jammed like a secondary dome. His solidity and doubt come across in Self-Portrait with a Horn, painted in 1938, the second year of his exile from Nazi Germany. Max Beckmann holds a bugle, which he has just blown. His eyes don't meet yours; he looks away, listening for an answering note. It's a piercing image of the artist deprived of his context, hoping to connect, uncertain that he can. European...
