...premium for unprofitable businesses. But in the Internet economy, where almost nobody has made a profit yet (and certainly Lycos hasn't), that hasn't kept Yahoo from shelling out $4.35 billion for GeoCities, or stopped the Internet portal @Home from paying $6 billion for Excite--both deals made at hefty price premiums.

Dedicated mentors can make a difference, and--though they sound hopelessly mushy--programs that help bullies deal with frustration have been shown to reduce school violence. Schools that try very hard to connect to families and communities can find potentially destructive students earlier. Not surprisingly, the districts that have had the most success are the ones with schools in or near big cities, which have had to combat violence the longest. Five years ago, DeKalb County officials in Georgia were finding so many weapons on campus that they began a campaign to alert parents...
