...would have guessed a decade ago that Web designer would be one of the hottest jobs around? Or that the Dow, hovering around 2,600 in 1990, would have quadrupled? Or that we would be at war in the Balkans for nearly three months and prevail, without losing the life of a single U.S. soldier in combat...
...there are plenty of big brains on both sides, generally arrayed in accordance with their political leanings. However, Gore's plan of debt reduction is a magnet for serious economists - it's one thing that pretty much everybody agrees is a good thing. And for every futurist who screams "Dow 50,000," there are two who wonder if the markets are something to be betting America's retirement on. Though very Democratic, Gore's status quo variation is also very conservative (with a small "c"). Old people and academics tend to support that sort of thing, and if Gore...
...twins" in the show, Rachelle Gould '03 (Vicky) and Tom Dow '03 (Steve) each turned in solid, if somewhat unusual, performances. Gould's voice, reminiscent of a country-western balladeer, seemed out of place in the show's musical structure, and Dow invested so much raw energy that his character sometimes seemed to be a NoDoze junkie.

"People are kidding themselves if they think this market has become safe again," he says. "The market has stabilized in the past two weeks and people have very quickly become complacent again...
...that you won't get left behind if one sector takes off. It's a confidence builder that, like turning off the tube, makes you less likely to sell when stocks dip--O.K., plunge--giving others the benefit of temporary low prices. Consider: many days this year, the Dow has been up when the NASDAQ was down, and vice versa. In the past 30 days, a tech-only portfolio might easily have lost 30% to 50% of its value. Yet if that portfolio had included bank stocks, plus some basic industry and consumer-goods companies, it would have been...
