...legal goal of Scientology is to bankrupt the opposition or bury it under paper. The church has 71 active lawsuits against the IRS alone. One of them, Miscavige vs. IRS, has required the U.S. to produce an index of 52,000 pages of documents. Boston attorney Michael Flynn, who helped Scientology victims from 1979 to 1987, personally endured 14 frivolous lawsuits, all of them dismissed. Another lawyer, Joseph Yanny, believes the church "has so subverted justice and the judicial system that it should be barred from seeking equity in any court." He should know: Yanny represented the cult until...
...could be on a brass plaque near the trading floor: on Wednesday, April 17, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 3000 for the first time in history. But what does the long-anticipated bench mark really mean? Statistically, the Dow's performance was a thing of wonder. The index first closed at more than 1000 on Nov. 14, 1972, took more than 14 years to close above 2000, then raced to last week's record-breaking 3004.46 close in little more than four years, barely missing a beat even during the crippling crash in October 1987. The milestone demonstrates...
...hoopla, many Wall Streeters don't much care about the Dow, based on a mere 30 blue-chip stocks.

The breaching of the 3000 barrier may have more psychological than economic significance. "The Dow is purely the public's index. No money manager whom I know pegs his or her results to the Dow Jones," says Wharton School finance professor Jeremy Siegel. When adjusted for inflation, even the Dow has seen more spectacular days...
Travel companies may also take heart from signs that the U.S. economy is not doing as badly as many experts had feared. The U.S. Commerce Department announced last week that its index of leading economic indicators jumped 1.1% in February, the first rise since last June and the biggest in three years. "The worst is over," says Transportation Secretary Samuel Skinner. "People have begun to fly again." Americans, it seems, are in a mood to travel -- even if the wallets of many dictate that they should stick closer to home...
According to my survey of the library's 1991 index and telephone directory--which I understand is slightly out of date--80 of the 115 studies in Widener and Pusey are occupied by faculty members who have offices elsewhere. At least 18 of those people have two or more offices elsewhere. Twelve of the 115 are emeritus professors...
