...there is hope for us baby-boom parents. Schools nationwide have abandoned the Chivas Regal ethos of the 1980s as they cope with sharp increases in demand for financial aid and the first signs that some high-caliber students are choosing to attend flagship public universities rather than go into eternal debt...
...quite disturbed by your unfounded and poorly researched assessment of Prodigy in "Where You Can Connect," your guide to the leading online services of today. Your negative comments appeared to be directed at Prodigy Classic, which is no longer our lead product.

When Wired Ventures Inc. announced plans to go public last spring, it took the financial industry by surprise. Sure, the company's flagship Wired magazine was the bible of information-age intelligentsia, but that prestige came from its celebration of digital culture, not from a robust bottom line in its print and online ventures. Would Wired become the latest money-losing company to make good in the market? Apparently not. Last Friday, citing "adverse market conditions," the firm canceled its second attempt at an offering. Though the magazine and online ventures are expected to continue, the company will have...
