...really count in the IPO game are institutions, and they've all made plenty of money by buying at the IPO price. They will continue buying. There is little reason for issuers to pull back, and few have. Last week Drkoop.com a consumer health-care site headed by the former Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop, doubled the first day, proving that a good story still sells. High-profile CNN anchor Lou Dobbs has announced that he will resign to start Space.com proving that entrepreneurs still believe there's time to build a Net company and cash...
...then the mommies began to fight and, like so many couples these days, decided to break up. And now the woman who gave birth to Zoey is blocking her former partner from seeing the five-year-old child. The other woman is suing for custody rights.

When Kazmierazak first sought custody rights, the trial court ruled she had no standing in the case. Florida law recognizes parental rights of custody only for biological or adoptive parents and grandparents. Kazmierazak is none of these...
...Harvard's. But this year director Erik Payne Butler scheduled his ceremony last Thursday on purpose--a reminder, he says, that his graduates should be as celebrated as those folks across the Charles River. And there was an added juxtaposition this year: at Pine Street the keynote speaker was former Labor Secretary Robert Reich; Harvard welcomed Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan to speak to alums and graduates. The two men have very different views of the economy. In his memoir, Reich imagined that a frank exchange would involve his assailing Greenspan as a "robber-baron pimp" and the central...
