Those seniors who ventured into the Office of Career Services (OCS) 1999 Career Forum last Friday may have experienced a moment of deja vu. Was this not faintly reminiscent of that other mental meat market, the Freshman Activities Fair? True, the screaming upperclassmen with their in-your-face heckling have been replaced by well-dressed, well-heeled members of the "real world" who wait instead for us to come and find them. And there's no question that the handouts are a lot more enticing--free T-shirts and playing cards are certainly a step up from a fistful...
Fight Club is not the first time someone has tried to grapple with yuppie angst. When the New Beetle was unveiled in 1998, the cough-drop-on-wheels was touted as the ultimate antidote to the ennui of the under-40 crowd. It was deja vu all over again: here was the "Love Bug," the charmingly rotund little symbol of all things flower-power, updated for the era of power-lunches.

A major study shows that Aldactone, used together with newer drugs like ACE inhibitors, can cut death rates from severe congestive heart failure by a third, possibly saving tens of thousands of lives a year. And it's easy on the wallet, costing just pennies...
...DEJA VU The hottest machines at PC Expo in New York City last week looked suspiciously similar to a PC made by the one big company that didn't show, Apple. Daewoo Telecom's Future Power, for example, unveiled an all-in-one Windows PC called the E-Power that comes in five flavors, er, colors--amethyst, ruby, topaz, emerald and sapphire. Bad news for Steve Jobs: E-Power will ship at about two-thirds the price of the iMac...
