...quality audio, from Elvis to the Flaming Lips, and adds 30 albums a day - including music by the likes of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin that isn't even available at other download stores. Tracks cost a few pennies and entire albums go for a buck or two, a fraction of the cost at Apple's iTunes store. In Britain, the site garners 14% of the online music market, second only to iTunes. "I've probably downloaded a couple hundred songs," says Don Goldberg, a public relations consultant in Washington. "It's stuff you can't find elsewhere...
...revenge in the name of our brothers and sisters who became martyrs on Iraqi soil," he says. Al-Zarqawi's foreign fighters always were merely a sliver of the bad guys in Iraq: intelligence estimates suggest al-Zarqawi commanded a few hundred men, of whom only a fraction were foreign jihadis. By most estimates that's less than 5% of the 25,000 to 50,000 insurgents believed to be operating inside the country.

Investor consensus is frequently wrong-footed by the market. In 2001-02, markets were gripped by the fear of deflation. Commodities were going for a fraction of today's prices, but virtually no one was interested. Today, investors are obsessed with inflation, while government and top-tier corporate bonds are shunned. That should be telling us something. What is it? In the last few years, as the central banks of Japan, the U.S. and Europe took...
...advice of a teammate. It’s a private ritual, bordering on excessive and obsessive, yet made very safe by familiarity and experience. I felt, throughout my time talking and eating with the lightweights, that they knew exactly what they were doing down to the last fraction of a pound.The tortuous journey from Monday to Friday and from season to season hardens the lightweights to the task of dropping weight and turns them into precision experts. One senior talked of Excel spreadsheets to tabulate calorie intake and his preferred ‘high-mass’ Thursdays, when he?...
