...fallout from Spitzer's assault has been swift. Fund-research firm Morningstar--the 800-lb. gorilla of independent fund analysis--took the unprecedented step of warning investors to avoid the four fund families at the eye of Spitzer's storm--Strong, Bank of America's Nations Funds, Bank One's One Group, and most Janus offerings (except for its Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Risk-Managed Stock funds, which are run by outside managers). "The firms put their own profitability ahead of shareholders'," says Kunal Kapoor, Morningstar's associate director of fund research. "Until we see changes...
...foreign countries are investing in stem-cell science, the research will ultimately get done. But, says Gearhart, "the U.S. is the 800-pound gorilla when it comes to resources for science.

Question: what do you feed a 500-lb. gorilla? Answer: whatever he wants. That's the simple explanation for why so many Europeans are skeptical about Bush's policy toward Iraq.

China and Russia, both with veto power in the Council, said Powell's speech had changed little, but neither is thought likely to nix a new resolution. "Russia," said a Foreign Ministry official...
...comix chapters by Paul Karasik (a former associate editor of "RAW" magazine and co-author of the graphic novel version of Paul Auster's "City of Glass") get as close to an explanation of David's inner life one can hope to. One clever chapter is narrated by Gorilla Watson, an "Adventures of Superman" bad guy who David refers to repeatedly. Gorilla explains that while everything outside David's head is splintered, "Inside it's as tidy and rich as Fort Knox." At the end, in a sad twist the final panel shows Gorilla behind bars with David, calling...
