...fast approaching a market top. My best Wall Street sources are in awe at how far stocks have risen in the past three years, and privately many say they are bracing for a fall. They won't necessarily be right. But the tough job scene for their ilk is evidence of their conviction. Keeping down head count in good times may be a grim new reality. But at some level it represents Wall Street's collective stab at timing the market...
That noble rock had seemed like such a civilized destroyer. Your average catastrophe gives little warning. Tidal waves, volcanoes, earthquakes and their ilk just barge in unannounced and wreak havoc. So rude! Not 1997 XF11, as the scientists so imaginatively named our space Kevorkian. It made a reservation. We were provided the exact date of arrival: Oct. 26, 2028. A Thursday.

The highest concentration of these retro-bikes can be found on the racks in front...
There has been additional evidence to indicate that Mandela's attitude toward his comrades has changed little since his rise to office. If anything, at least some of Mandela's time in office has been spent in the acquisition of new friends of the Qaddafi-esque ilk. Perhaps even more disquieting than the largely symbolic fraternity between Qaddafi and Mandela, were last year's allegations that Mandela intended to sell chemical weapons to Syrian dictator Hafiz al-Assad. This episode was followed by a state visit by Vice President Al Gore Jr. '69 to South Africa during which Gore...
