...Clinton, Bush--the Federal Government has claimed about a fifth of the gross domestic product, never varying more than a percentage point or two. (It is state and local taxes that have soared.) Claims of fabulous benefit or terrible harm from alleged changes in the federal tax burden are hollow because there's been no evidence of either. The share of total income taxes being paid by the top 1% or 10%, or whatever slice you choose, has been increasing over the past couple of decades. But the point to remember is that...
...Morey (who went on to invent the boogie board in 1971). Four years ago, Pope introduced the Bisect, a two-piece board that is even easier to transport; just pull it out of the trunk, snap it together, and head for the water. His latest innovation: the Bisect Hollow Carbon Stealth (as in Stealth fighter).

Even if Microsoft prevails, the victory may be hollow. As the rise in the open-source Linux operating system (invented in Finland 11 years ago) shows, Microsoft is increasingly having to move from a world of tight control to one of open standards. Last week the largest European manufacturer committed to a Microsoft-powered Smartphone, Britain's Sendo, abandoned...
...weathered grain of Ice Cube’s voice manages to triumph somewhat against Oakenfold’s ponderous vision. By the end of its 51 long minutes, Bunkka, grandiose and spotless, strikes one as the musical equivalent of Pearl Harbor—it’s the hollow, echoing sound of big budget, big names, and art-as-spectacle...
