Wyss, Sinai and other members of TIME's board think the new cut by itself is too small to have much impact. Other rates, on bonds for example, had already been adjusted downward in anticipation of a Fed move. But it is a heartening sign that Greenspan and the other Fed governors have become convinced that a worsening slowdown is now a greater threat than renewed inflation. Since Greenspan has long preferred to move rates in a series of small, repeated steps, the economists on TIME's board devoutly hope that more reductions will follow, late this year...

Motorola dubbed the system--and the company it spun off to build and operate it--Iridium, after the 77th element on the periodic table. (After trimming the number of satellites required...
...giants explore and drill for crude and natural gas, were market darlings from 1995 to 1997, but now have more detractors than anything west of Indonesia. Though many oil-service firms are already trading near two-year lows, analysts' earnings estimates for them will soon be revised further downward. No brokerage will want the likes of Halliburton or Schlumberger on its "recommended" list. The gloom around these stocks is only deepening. And I am buying them hand over fist...
