...week began with a frantic, sweaty call from the greenroom at Good Morning America. "How do I tell people I am scared without scaring them?" I asked my partner, Jeff Berkowitz, at 7:34 a.m., four minutes before going on air for my regular "The Buck Starts Here" segment. "How do I tell them that this bull wants to pull in his horns, even...
...this nanosecond trading world. I was able to scoop up some Dell Computer at 79 at 10 a.m. and flip it at 89 by 2:30. Same with Chevron and Microsoft. By 2:45 it was an upside panic. In fact, Intel triggered a frantic wave of buying simply by not denying a rumor, reported on CNBC, that it was about to announce a massive buyback.

This final section is certainly sedate, almost verging even on morose, culminating in the final couplet of the work: a grandiose choral motto, "Thy pleasures, Moderation, give/ In them alone we truly live." Moderation is not quite...
...tragic that Diana died just as she was emerging from her past troubles and, with new maturity, getting ready for a different life. We first glimpsed her as a lovely fairy-tale bride. We then saw her turn into a frantic and disturbed young wife, fighting for the affections of her husband, who, incredibly, preferred another woman. We watched as she emerged bruised yet with fresh strength and purpose. She learned as she grew: the naive, clueless girl was evolving into a confident woman. She forged a unique role for herself, using her luminous presence to focus attention on important...
