...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. "If I had to go by reviews, I wouldn't be making movies," says the producer, sounding a little grumpy, just hours after the New York Times called Pearl Harbor "defiantly, extravagantly...

Many carriers feel they have been unfairly singled out as the scapegoats of a health scare driven by the media and "no win, no fee" lawyers such as Slater & Gordon. "There's a lot of hype and a lot of lawyers," growls one Asian airline executive. "There are people who might have been genuinely ill and people who see a court case." Airlines insist passengers are primarily responsible for their own health. After all, cramped conditions can lead to stress, and even disruptive and unruly behavior...

...kawaii. The light-speed caprice of these Japanese teens has created a host of new challenges for Takai and 109's other designers: how to keep a label's signature style intact without it suddenly seeming as last year as, well, platform boots. 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.
