...about that "half of the Kingston Trio"... When founder Dave Guard left the group in 1960, John Stewart replaced him, joining Nick Reynolds and Bob Shane. The Trio was a late-'50s chart sensation that helped establish the album, not the single, as the unit of pop music. Reviled and/or envied by purists, the group nonetheless got a myriad of kids hooked on traditional music. They were the training wheels of the folk movement, and kept wearing their smiles and striped shirts for decades as a tribute band to themselves. Reynolds was 75, Stewart...
...Credit scores, first developed in the late 1950s, try to boil down to a single number whether a person is likely to pay back a loan. The most widely used ranking of individual creditworthiness is the FICO score. Fair Isaac Corp., which computes the number, won't say exactly what goes into the formula, but it is essentially a summation of an individual's credit history - which loans were paid off and which weren't - rolled up into a three-digit number between 300 and 850.

Passing laws in Congress to cut taxes or boost spending to stave off a downturn was seen as pointless at best. Such help would arrive too late or in the wrong place, the thinking went, or would have no impact at all. (See TIME's "Bailout Report Card...
Made up of as many as 1,000 adherents of a fundamentalist Mormon sect, Bountiful has been home to clans of polygamists since the arrival in the late 1940s of the homestead's founder, Harold Blackmore, who - according to one account - was drawn to the valley after envisioning it in a dream. Blackmore was part of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which was expelled from mainstream Mormonism in the 1930s. For generations, local farmers co-existed with the polygamists of Bountiful. But this relationship, based on the country tenet "live and let live," grew increasingly...
