...invest in individual stocks, be sure to diversify adequately among the shares of a dozen or so companies in different industries, including some whose fortunes move up and down with the economy (like equipment manufacturers and financial firms) and some that don't (like food- and drugmakers). If you own too much stock in the company for which you've worked for decades--a common condition in these days of company stock options and company-stock matches in 401(k) plans--an unexpected setback for that company or its industry could wipe you out.

...only people not sharing the good vibes were the 13 House trial managers, many of whom sat at their table with bloodshot eyes and puffy faces, looking like members of some unwanted and unforgiven tribe of outcasts. Their White House counterparts move easily among the Senators, clutching elbows and exchanging meaningful looks, while the House managers have become pariahs--"two-year-olds," as a G.O.P.

Herbert is a rare find in 1998: he is old andwise, having lived through the turmoil of EasternEurope under communism, yet he is a storytellerpoet more concerned with the forests than withpeople. He does not run from his own historicalcontext; but he, in a move that will perhaps beincreasingly repeated, bravely attends to himselfand many of the old cares of poetry in their turn.He certainly does not flee his time, carelesslyrutting in transcendentalism or other naiveaesthetics. In fact, his language and reliance onoblique image is, if anything, a testament to thecomplexities of the present and the wisdom ofcontemporary poetry...
