...truth is there has never been a better time to attempt to trade for a living. The opportunities for short-term profits in the stock market, given the new wild swings we have seen, can't be dismissed as unworthy or foolish. That hasn't been true for most of this 17-year bull market, when only wacky, thin, corrupt or heavily shorted stocks jumped enough to make a short-term triumph possible. And for most of that period, commissions were so high that they ate into those gains for all but the biggest traders, who got discounts from their...
...with ideas about world events, she made one forget the inevitable. Her small, frail body would shake with rage or laughter at Clinton and Monica, at Congress, at her beloved city of Washington, which she would ridicule in private and defend against outside assaults, as one would a foolish child...
...first experimental album Polydistortion, GusGus emerges more enchanting than before. Having already established a reputation for flair and soulful character, the band returns exploring new territory.

This Is Normal has an added feature for wannabe deejays and tired listeners--the ability to remix the album's songs on your own computer. Electronic beats throughout the album...
...words are expressive but minimal and emotional, a style Rushdie might have stuck to when writing other parts of the book.

Through Vina and her famous friends, Rushdie shows us how fame is often unfulfilling, lonely and trifling. Andy Warhol's cultured set is brilliantly satirized, as is the delirious glam-rock movement that yielded Iggy Pop and David Bowie. Madonna Sangria is also skillfully caricatured and probably the reason...
Some in the Army argue that building a smaller armored force is foolish until key advances have been made, especially in the areas of fuel and ammo, which armored forces devour. Electromagnetic guns, lasers, and new fuel types could allow the Army to achieve its goal of fielding such a force that could fight for two weeks without resupply. But until then, the speed of deployment is mostly dependent on how quickly the Army can set up logistics links. Napoleon's old dictum that an army travels on its stomach remains true today...
