...phase in new rules that should make the sharper images of digital or high-definition TV available in time for the 1998 football season. By then, broadcasters such as NBC and CBS have agreed, the nation's top 10 markets will be getting the richer television signal--which includes lush digital sound and a crystal-clear picture. Still, few analysts expect HDTV to take off anytime before the millennium. Between the $3,000 price tag for the sets and the slow arrival of new programming, couch potatoes may have to stew a bit longer...
...jump in and out and risk missing big rallies. The declines will be overcome. But human nature hasn't changed much since Adam and Eve. Many people now putting their life savings in stocks will instinctively move to protect them if they sense lasting trouble. Rather than lock in lush profits today, they'll lock in dismal gains--if not outright losses--tomorrow...

...film from more traditional Merchant-Ivory or "Sense and Sensibility"-style approaches. Hauntingly ethereal music of reed flutes, reminiscent of "The Piano" though written by a different composer, runs throughout the movie. Wildly tilted shots of staircases and courtyards sporadically break up the Renaissance symmetry of Florence. The lush beauty and color of balls and beautiful Italian gardens are interspersed with visually spare scenes enveloped in bluish shadows. The symbolic medium of a glass case or prisonlike bars distorts our view of the characters...
