Hamburg is involved in politics on the opposite coast, working as the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation at the US Department of Health and Human Services. A frequent lecturer and a Crimson editor, she says she feels strongly attached to the University...
...well ("We there yet?" "He's touching me!"). For reasons I don't fully comprehend, since I'm not fond of driving and do all of it, I actually look forward to this two-day, 1,300-mile sojourn. Perhaps it's simply a change of pace from my frequent-flyer life-style. For Nancy, who doesn't travel much, I suspect it's a refreshing combination of getting out of the house/classroom or maybe the sustained euphoria from school's being out for the summer...
...rely entirely on our vehicle's hardware, however. In addition to frequent rations (steadfastly inverting the FDA nutrition pyramid), Nancy employs a clever bag of goodies to keep the peace. About a month before our trip, she begins collecting small toys and games--a deck of cards here, a cache of toy soldiers there--and wraps them as presents to dole out whenever backseat warfare appears imminent.

Already, mighty Fidelity Investments prices its 38 industry funds and their $20 billion in assets every hour, though it discourages frequent trades by assessing redemption fees. Virtually all other funds are priced just once a day, at the market close. But stepping up to twice-a-day pricing, at the least, seems likely. And with today's computing power, minute-by-minute pricing is increasingly plausible...
