Internet stocks have defied convention and gravity for the better part of two years. Never mind that to these outfits, profit is mostly a concept. They had cool products, hip clients, catchy names, irreverent ads, promise--lots of promise--and more. They had panache. They were cocktail chatter, and their stocks (and stockholders) were giddy. The money-losing online bookseller Amazon.com long ago blew past venerable Sears in terms of market value. At the time, investors gasped and marveled. They kept buying, but at least they noticed.

Holmes saved up for two months to come to the race with his stepfather, two sons and a nephew. He doesn't know it, but 75 yds. away in a somewhat more elaborate rig, Texaco CEO Peter Bijur is getting ready to root for Kenny...
...working the audience and attempting to tone down the somber aura of classical music. In a sense, this effort to reach out to people who would otherwise normally not be exposed to classical music was commendable. Though it was sometimes hard to hear over the quiet buzz of audience chatter, especially with the acoustical downfalls of the athletic building, the casual concert setting could not detract from the magic of hearing a live professional orchestra...
