...tree topples, stop the presses. There must be some hideous new insect at work, threatening the entire forest. And that's a story. So it is with a trio of recently published books, and I'm not making these names up: Dow 36,000 by James Glassman and Kevin Hassett, Dow 40,000 by David Elias and Dow 100,000 by Charles Kadlec (no relation). I'm thinking of writing one called Dow Infinity. Top that...

He's in bed by 9:30 and rises around 4:45 a.m. to begin plowing through the nine newspapers he reads every day. His Buddha-like serenity gives way to anger only when he speaks of the "television tyranny" of East Coast elites. Lamb decided when he first came to Washington that he didn't want someone like Walter Cronkite or David Brinkley shaping information...
