...Award party, which takes place at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, famously featured in "Pretty Woman." The company pioneered this showcase event a few years ago, modeling it on the famous pre-Grammy-night parties thrown by music mogul Clive Davis. A pre-event party has no shroud of loser gloom and allows for members of other tribes to visit. Kevin Spacey, for example, has no allegiance to Miramax Films, but he is a regular visitor to their parties. The reason for this intermingling is simple. One never knows when the informal bond that arises will pay off. Spacey may have...
...Worst hit - so far - is Britain, where the stench of burning hair, hide and flesh of slaughtered animals casts gloom across the countryside. By week's end at least 250,000 animals had been destroyed, and that was only the beginning. Agriculture Minister Nick Brown announced plans for the "pre-emptive" killing of every pig and sheep within 3 km of any infected farm in Cumbria and southwest Scotland.

The Dow, shedding more than 800 points, dipped below 10,000 for the first time since fall. The NASDAQ slumped under 2000 and officially erased two years of tech run-up. The S&P finally notched its 20 percent and joined the bear club...
...York subway ride. The profound emotions shaping South Africa come with no extra charge. The performance is in Zulu, but spectators with no understanding of the language can grasp the feeling. Evocative words such as "AIDS," "lover boy," "our parliament" and "Mandela" are at the foreground. Hope and gloom duel in the background. Isicathamiya is South Africa's blues...
