...carefully as you pursue this most prestigious post. After all, the Class of 2000 may look with pride on many achievements, both individual and collective, from the virtuosity of violinist Joe Lin to the progress of the Living Wage Campaign to the electrifying performances of our Freshman Musical, "No Bull." But perhaps our greatest feat has been the ousting of both presidents who ruled the Harvard-Radcliffe we joined a mere four years ago. Yes, Queen Wilson and Rudenstine the (Capital) Campaigner abdicated after the Class of Aughty-Aught showed them who's boss. So you'd be wise...
...salad days of the bull market may now be but a warm memory; amid whispers that the technology boom is at an end, the technology-heavy NASDAQ stock index has retreated from its previously high levels.

According to police, Papa was one of the founding members of a group that went by various names-- Hitler's Youth, White Power or Devil Dogs--purportedly a racist high school gang that terrorized the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert. In truth, police sources say, the gang was really a steroid-laced football team that went bad from lack of direction. "They were bad, but they weren't racist. Hell, there were even black members," says...
Among all the things that drive stock prices, basic market psychology is the hardest to figure. Are you a bull or a bear? For many investors, the answer is based on little more than a gut-level premonition of where stocks are headed. Yet market psychology, or sentiment, can with little prodding shift so decisively to one side of the fear/greed spectrum that it dictates the course of stock prices for months or even years...
