...base in California, the graze craze is spreading across the country. Inspired by tapas, Middle Eastern mezes and East Asian small dishes, chefs are offering diners a greater variety of flavors on a multitude of mini-dishes, usually for less money than traditional-size portions and without a load of calories. Several cookbooks have recently been published that focus on the trend, including Meze: Small Plates to Savor and Share from the Mediterranean Kitchen (Morrow) by Diane Kochilas. The extravagant multi-tiered creations of the NASDAQ-fueled '90s have faded. Now the emphasis is on taste, according to Adam Busby...
Most investors would be better off in no-load index funds, which charge no sales commission and cut the costs of investing to the bone. But if you work with a broker for investing guidance, as millions do, you can't expect her to work for free, so a no-load index fund won't be on the menu. Unfortunately, with many brokers, the menu is dominated by that funky alphabet soup. A shares carry a sales charge, typically 4.5% to 5.75%, that you pay your broker when you buy. B shares charge nothing when you buy but nick...
...further away you are from Omagh, the closer you are to another atrocity," says Michael Gallagher, whose 21-year-old son Aidan was killed in the blast.

The families who lost loved ones in the Omagh bombing are now pursuing a civil case against McKevitt and four others whom they believe were responsible for the atrocity. The British government has agreed to use public money to fund that case. "We owe it to those who died...
...competition hasn?t been idle either. Companies like Verizon, AT&T and SBC have banded together to mount an aggressive attack on MCI. They?ve been primarily concerned that MCI would emerge from bankruptcy with relatively light penalties and the lowest debt load in the business. (Last May, MCI reached a $750 million settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the largest in the agency?s history but a fraction of the amount investors lost to fraud.) The competitors were recently helped by a whistleblower who went to Verizon and told executives there that MCI had been creatively rerouting calls...
...holds four people; my initial seat was in the second row of the cockpit, normally occupied by the defensive systems operator. I watched Chanel make several unsuccessful attempts to load the mission data from a DTUC (data transfer unit cartridge), which looks like a black brick with a handle. Surprisingly, the cartridge is made from 1960s technology, holding only 512 kilobytes of data, less than a floppy disk. But inside was all of the data needed to launch state-of-the-art precision weapons and to skim the earth's surface from as low as 200 feet at Mach speed...
