...equally conceivable that the worst isn't over. The great unknowable is the significance of American businesses' overinvestment from 1998 to 2000. The buying spree was fueled by the Y2K frenzy, hype that the Internet was the greatest thing since the electric light, and a stock market that rewarded companies that predicted outrageous demand for their products. The overhang of those purchases may depress business investment for another year, however cheap the Fed makes it to borrow...
...that Pearl Harbor is a wimpy movie. Plenty of things explode, but it's the most serious-minded film of Bruckheimer's career, and it has arrived with not only some of the greatest hype in history but the burden of history as well. Critics will tell you in no uncertain terms that it creaks under this weight. Bruckheimer will tell you he doesn't need their approval.

Often, brands like Esperanza, which now hype their high-heeled mules instead of the platforms, forgo association with a certain look so that they can morph with current styles. Others, like Alba Rosa and Me Jane, married their style to extreme looks of the past and paid the price: those loud colors and hibiscus flowers might...
...would get all the attention, and don't speak on the record about the sibling issue. One can only speculate about what purpose the fib serves for them, but it seems likely they're loath to gab about their divorce and they hope to exercise some control over the hype descending upon them. At any rate, it's clear they have their reservations about being exposed to media scrutiny. The cover of White Blood Cells depicts a horde of black-clad attackers surrounding the two band members; open the CD case, and a second picture reveals the thugs...
