Even if Congress moves to restrict the money flow, some experts say, the effect might not be what the reformers hope for. "Almost exactly the same amount would be spent but in different ways," predicts University of Virginia veteran campaign-finance watcher Larry Sabato. Companies, trade groups and unions would fund more grassroots organizing, phone banks, voter-registration drives and ads, among other things, he asserts. Assuming that ever creative political pros will always find--or make--a hole in the dike through which more money can pour, some argue that trying to limit contributions isn't the best approach...
...sort of the Sampson effect in reverse: after their first brush with success, ingenues chop off their locks as if to prove their power does not flow from their follicles. The most recently shorn is Felicity star KERI RUSSELL, who, by cutting her hair, banished one of the highlights of her show's first season. In the tidal wave of fame that followed the release of Pretty Woman, JULIA ROBERTS got cropped. And GWYNETH PALTROW ditched her do upon garnering acclaim for Emma.

"In effect," he says, "Chemdex is turning around to the chemical producers, and it is saying, 'Congratulations! This is your lucky day. You just won the lottery. Here's a check for $4 billion.' These guys have not seen their costs structure improved like this ever. It's a tectonic shift...
...effect, we create virtual corporations," says Ken Ross, president and CEO of Extricity Software, which has raised $25 million in funding from companies, including Intel and SAP, since it was founded in 1996. "We enable large corporations to work closely together by linking their different business processes--their enterprise applications and their systems--so they can deliver product by the quickest means." Adaptec, a $1 billion global semiconductor company based in Milpitas, Calif., which uses Extricity technology to connect with its business partners worldwide, offers a textbook example--literally. The company's B2B strategy is a case study at Stanford...
