...invest again when they think they can do so profitably, and investors will do so profitably when they see businesses do it too. In the meantime, we're all be better off waiting for this to happen on its own, or else we'll just get stuck with a bunch of junk - be they overbought stocks or overbought goods - that we'll spend 2003 getting...
Quite the contrary. It stars Monty Python vet John Cleese as a Las Vegas casino titan who sends some hapless losers on a cross-country race, all for the amusement of a bunch of inveterate international gamblers wagering on which desperado will grab the prize: $2 million in a remote bus-station locker.

The law firm has garnered testimony from at least 40 new complainants since the suit started to be publicized. Palm maintains it is not aware of any such problem...
...girls are here too, signed in at base checkpoints by friends and boyfriends. They're a tough bunch. Around 2 a.m. one recent night, a fight breaks out between three amejo and an American woman. A slap fest ensues before massive security guards in yellow T shirts toss the Japanese women...
