...means the economic recovery can proceed apace. Enron, meanwhile, means a second guess - is this company truly good, or is it too good to be true? - and second-guessing is not the kind of attitude of which sustained bull markets are made. The Dow and NASDAQ's January chart lines are jagged, but the trend is clearly downward since Probe Day, January 9, and for every buyer whose glass is half full there seems to be two who'd rather wait before they take a drink...
...more sorely tested: Do we provide every lost soldier an honor guard through every living room only because there are so few of them? Or are there so few because our leaders know we will get to know each one by name and can only bear so much? Pollsters chart a growing acceptance of risk.

Finally it became Patsy Cline's post-mortem anthem; the Virginia thrush's rendition hit #18 on the country chart in 1980, 17 years after her death. And still it didn't die: a tribute musical called "Patsy Cline ... Always," with the song as its emotional centerpiece, played...
...Like its chart-topping hard-rock colleagues in Staind, Creed may prove to be a lesson in Rock 101 for the Britney generation, a bland Big Mac to wean the kids off musical Gerber. But after a few bites of what this band serves up, experienced buds will crave more exotic fare--like Pearl...
