...respirator while Rabena, who had driven to the hospital with Ilardi, completed paperwork that promoted him to first lieutenant and gave him a "medical retirement"--a step that allows his family to receive more generous benefits. Ilardi kissed Colgan on the chest. "We won't give up the chase," he said...
...hurry, and don't chase what has been hot (always good advice). I'm a fan of index funds, but they won't serve you well if half the market falls and half rises. Start now and build exposure to large, defensive consumer stocks like Pfizer and Anheuser-Busch. Fund investors won't find a lot of managers who have invested in these laggards; most funds are playing the cyclical theme, which could work a while yet.

I almost made the liberal mistake of defending the guy who defended Michael Jackson...
...took some cues from his rival when making Tokyo Godfathers. In Kon's first two movies he abandoned his characters to harsh fates. The heroes of Tokyo Godfathers, in contrast, seem to be watched over by a benevolent deity. Chance encounters repeatedly save the day, and the film's chase-sequence finale is brought to a safe conclusion by a meteorological miracle. Kon seems to have synthesized his hard-boiled instincts with an almost Disney-like sense of providence, arriving at a kind of magical realism...
