...million, up from 2 million households in 1995. "This market is exploding," says Mark Stevens, president of personal financial services for the Northern Trust Co., based in Chicago. He notes that while the U.S. population is growing 1% a year, the ranks of millionaires are growing 10 times as fast...

Just ask Quentin Tarantino--this summer, he starred in a miserably static Broadway production of the play that paled in comparison to the genuinely frightening 1967 film starring Audrey Hepburn.

Although most of the audience members tried to keep dancing, many were having a seat and taking a break after the first few songs or so. The end of the show brought back the mellow lyrics that have won Phish acclaim in the past. Phish is now experimenting with a new style that sometimes leaves longtime fans in the dark, but their concerts...
