...knee-jerk market reaction - down, down, down with a clamor - only presaged the peanut-gallery response to what may be seen as one of the least popular Fed moves in a long, long time. Because while the steep-sloped graph of Fed rate cuts this year now shows a distinct leveling off - right smack in the middle of the weakest economic quarter in a decade - nowhere in the 200-word accompanying statement was any hint of why Alan Greenspan chose June 27, 2001 to ease off on the throttle...
...What those Tokyo girls define as kawaii can be as cute as frilly pink shirts one day and as raunchy as a vinyl miniskirt the next. A year ago, the most popular items in Shibuya were Esperanza's light brown knee-high platform boots and black face paint?the so-called "gal" look.

With no map and no idea of the area, he was at the mercy of the two guides accompanying his group. After sleeping in the desert, they continued walking the following day and finally arrived at Highway 90, favored by smugglers for pickups...
...COYOTE Aurelio Gonzales was back in Mexico four hours after being picked up, but with his twisted knee, he was not sure he would try again--at least not that night. Many others do. Mexican officials say most aliens try six times before giving up. That's partly because the first thing returnees see back in Mexico is the coyotes on the corners, waiting to make their pitch.
