...Fidelity Investments, the Boston-based mutual-fund giant. Last week Brian Posner, the highly regarded manager of the popular Equity Income II Fund, left to join E.M.

...19th District is a mix of Old West machismo and Sun Belt sophistication--home to oil, Cowboy Mornings, agribusiness and Texas Tech. Like the district's economic prosperity, Combest's political success comes from expertise in old and new technologies: he was John Tower's agricultural-affairs specialist, is a member of the Agriculture Committee and chairman of the Select Intelligence Committee...
