A great idea, simply executed--so long as you can bypass the dull stuff and ferret out the juicy tidbits (like a list of 467 employee salaries at Terra Lycos). Kaplan says he just posts whatever people send him; some memos (the ones he thinks will have wide appeal) are free, whereas others are accessible only to subscribers paying $45 a month...
