...unspoken tightening of standards at record labels or an evolutionary leap in the development of vocal cords. At the other extreme are a few hip-hop singers who also hit their notes but with a precision so exaggerated that on first listen, their songs sound comically artificial, like a chorus of '50s robots singing Motown...
...worth of tax breaks for movie producers to buy film and $1.4 billion for "rural waste-disposal programs." Principled conservatives worry that it's so big, it will institutionalize Big Government; principled liberals worry that it won't be big enough to resuscitate a flatlined economy. And a bipartisan chorus--including Clinton Administration budget chief Alice Rivlin and Reagan Administration economist Martin Feldstein--has argued that the stimulus package ought to be all about stimulus. Those people want to focus on fighting the recession, and they don't see Pell Grants, renewable-energy subsidies, health-care technology and Head Start...

The answer is that they were thinking about the same thing they always think about: more. Wall Streeters follow the Principle of More. I want more than I made last year; I want more than you made; I want more stock; I want more toys. And don't we all? It's just that...
