...with him at all times, and kept a tape recorder at bedside, as crutches for his fallible human memory, which might miss stray bits of "verbal behavior" that popped out at inconvenient times.

Dozens of "index fund" managers now buy high-dividend stocks and merely try to match or slightly exceed increases in such popular price indexes as Dow Jones and Standard & Poor...
