...casual as Gore ever looks in public, then turned to the basket and, with exaggerated ease, lofted the ball into the air. It swished through the hoop perfectly, catching nothing but net, and the kids shrieked in delight; Gore got the ball back and spun it smartly on his index finger. As he left the court, he turned to the children and said, "Those who don't make the team, keep trying. Repetition--practice--is the key to success...
...performance was frequently off-key. The swoosh of his basketball in the Woodrow Wilson Middle School gym may have been exhilarating, but it could not make up for what had come before: a listless, interminable session in an overheated school library during which Gore droned on and on, consulting index cards and discoursing on the role of public education during the industrial revolution. When the school gave Gore its sweatshirt, he didn't have the presence of mind to unfold the thing, much less put it on. And when it was time to go, he left an auditorium of squirming...
...normally docile family that controls 45% of the company and 70% of a special class of voting shares began carping about its lackluster returns. While the Dow Jones industrial average has soared, Dow Jones' laggard stock has made it the lowest ranked company in the S&P publishing index. That sent Elisabeth ("Lizzie") Goth, 34, and William ("Billy") Cox III, 42, heirs of Clarence Barron, the 300-lb. patriarch who purchased the company in 1902, looking for advice from investment heavyweights such as Warren Buffett.

Seoul's Korea Composite Stock Price index racked up its largest single-day percentage gain, jumping 25.98 points, or about 7 percent, to close at 385.80. Rallies on Saturday (yes, this is a market that trades on Saturday) and Monday more than undid Friday's plunge, when the Composite sank 7 percent to a 10-year low. What caused the turnaround? The catalyst seems to have been a series of statements over the weekend by South Korean leaders, who vowed to "fully implement the agreement reached with...
...tough odds, several works manage to distinguish themselves from the more academic studies in the show. Dave Steiner's two hilariously captivating oil drawings explore his psychological relationship with a grinning frog doll, possibly a cousin of Kermit. "Froggy with Orator" depicts a man sitting behind a table, one index finger raised in exclamation. But the orator's bulging-eyed companion doesn't seem to be listening as he charmingly mugs for us on the right side of the table. Another monochromatic oil drawing casts the orator as a distraught mourner poised over the prostrate body of his friend...
