...last few years are clearly unique," says investing legend Peter Lynch, vice chairman of fund company Fidelity Management Research. "Huge companies have been beloved." In that environment, fund managers with even small doses of non-index stocks don't have much chance of beating the indexes. But, Lynch notes, active fund managers have sparkled at times, as in 1991-93, when the postrecession economy was lifting small stocks fastest. In 1991 the average fund rose 37%, vs. 30% for the S&P 500, and 60% of funds beat the benchmark...
...Lynch believes index funds make sense for investors who would otherwise switch their money furiously, chasing the latest fund fad only to get there late each time. Indeed, Fidelity is doubling its index-fund offerings from three to six this year. But, Lynch says, it's wrong to assume large stocks will be in favor forever.

Even with 500 newcomers arriving each day, "there is a job here for everyone who wants one," says Dan Lynch, president and ceo of the Economic Development Commission of Mid-Florida. Even the marquee of Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando sports a help-wanted sign--for a hall monitor...
...control of Northern Ireland, are at heart a fratricidal family squabble. So maybe a few steely mothers can stanch the blood sport. Some Mother's Son, which Terry George directed from his and Jim Sheridan's script, documents the 1981 hunger strike led by IRA soldier Bobby Sands (John Lynch) and the attempt by mothers of Sands' jailed cohorts to keep their boys from dying. Despite her natural caution, Kathleen Quigley (Helen Mirren), an apolitical teacher, is persuaded, by an IRA sympathizer (Fionnula Flanagan) and by loyalty to her own son, to try bringing the two warring sides together...
