...having fun, he didn't look as if he was, with his chin tugging his face down and his eyebrows perpetually raised. It was hard not to get Bradley fatigue in the middle of an event. Senator Paul Wellstone, the feisty Minnesota liberal so bouncy he seemed about to leap into Bradley's arms, would work the crowd into a lather only to have Bradley take the podium and douse the room with ice water. Occasionally he was the Pied Piper in a room full of children, but on a visit to a school gym last month, even that gift...
Today that leap of faith seems inspired. Investment firms Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and others sank $20 million into AMO last July, and Hong Kong tycoon Richard Li paid $27 million for 25% of SilkRoute, whose main asset is 38% of AMO. No matter that neither company has made a profit. Few Net companies do, at least yet. But Cheah, 34, has no intention of selling out. "I'm waiting for a much bigger payday," he says...
...give back in some small way to the alumni who are (most likely) both a source of monetary support and networking opportunities. And it keeps the alumni happy (and giving) by forging an intellectual connection to the college community.

Still, I needed to know why people would not only submit themselves to this leap of faith but also do it so publicly. I called Genie Francis, whose character, Laura, on General Hospital married Luke in 1981 in a major TV event. Sadly, their marriage is not doing well. Luke separated from Laura last year after discovering that she slept with Stefan, Luke's archenemy, when she was kidnapped on Cassadine Island, though at the time she thought Luke was dead. Of the Fox show, Francis said, "That woman got a $35,000 diamond ring. That's a lot more...
...seriously tilted constructions that are erupting now required a technological leap, namely the emergence of more sophisticated versions of computer-assisted design, CAD, which make it easier to conceive and build the most complex irregular forms. When the billowing Sydney Opera House was under construction four decades ago, it went millions of dollars over budget because of the difficulties in translating Joern Utzon's arching sail forms into a structure that would actually stand up. These days you could practically dash the thing off on your Palm Pilot. Adventurous architects are working with the same software used by aircraft engineers...
