...index since July 17, a decline that economists call a correction. (A 20% drop signals a "bear market.") But a deeper and quieter sort of stock decline has been under way much longer, particularly among smaller companies. For example, the Russell 2000 Index of small-capitalization stocks has fallen nearly 5% since January. Investors have been seeing these declines for some months in their brokerage statements. So as they survey the carnage, a question naturally arises: What impact could last week's downturn have on my job, my family and the price of the things...
...Buffett looks like an Islamorada bonefishing guide: stocky and squint-eyed, with seaworthy legs and skin that's leathery from the sun. The hair that used to hang in long blond sheets has fallen out; the famously droopy moustache is gone. And though he is 25 years away from the Key West beach-bum days that make up the heart of his myth, he still has gregarious charm, an elfin smile and a bottomless well of stories to tell. That's not the whole picture, of course. "He's incredibly outgoing and confident when he switches it on," says...
...which last week had fallen as much as 10% from its high, could fall further and seriously set back anyone who plows in a pile of money now. But a happy irony of the stock market is that the nuttier it gets, the more you can make by sticking to a regimen of investing a set amount at regular intervals, as most folks do with their 401(k)s or other automatic-investment accounts.

...greeted with a lively job alongside some great people who love books as much as I do and who bring fake dog poo and vomit to work for kicks. I splurged on renting a gorgeous but mildly expensive house near campus with some friends; I have now nearly fallen in love with the quirky place. In short, I tried to learn from my mistakes, but I still took risks; and I've been unabashedly rewarded so far. Not counting the move from home, I haven't physically traveled very far over the past three years, but I have learned more...
...succeed unchallenged, but naming his successor is likely to spark friction. Hussein would like Hassan to name one of the King's sons crown prince. The two eldest, ABDULLAH and FEISAL, are considered unqualified because their mother is British. The next son, ALI, was the favorite, but he has fallen out of favor because of his playboy life-style. Next come HAMZAH and HASHEM, the sons of Hussein's current wife, LISA HALABI, known as Queen Noor, who comes from a Lebanese-American family. Lately, Hussein has been grooming Hamzah. The 18-year-old frequently accompanies his father to official...
