...hell. Don't listen to him if you're about to operate heavy machinery. I kinda like some of Taylor's old stuff - "Fire & Rain," etc. - but, at Rock in Rio, he seemed to be mailing his performance in. And we're not talking about by e-mail or Fed-Ex. Taylor's sleepy performance arrived by Pony Express. And his rendition of "Only a Dream in Rio" was an embarrassment; I'm surprised he had the guts to deliver such a lackluster performance of that particular song in the very city that helped inspired the tune.

...injuries and visions of the previous night's early game woes came back to haunt Harvard. As an integral part of a four-on-two rush early in the second stanza, Bulldogs center Luke Earl gave Yale its second goal of the night at 6:10. Linemate Evan Wax fed a pass to Earl in the low slot who wristed the puck high on the stick side to put Yale up 2-0.

Studies show that when asked whether long-term rates will rise or fall--a fifty-fifty proposition--economists get it right only a third of the time. Market gurus fail at predicting the Dow. Analysts miss more than they hit when forecasting earnings. This is very old stuff. Nostradamus predicted the world...
DIET BACKLASH With holiday gorging finally over, you'd think Americans would focus on improving their eating habits. Don't bet on it. A study finds that Americans are fed up with worrying about what to eat. More than 40% report they're tired of hearing about which foods are good for them and which aren't, and 70% say the government has no business doling out nutrition advice. The folks most likely to eat as they please? Those over 60 and men ages...
