...thousand men (and women) of Harvard watched in disbelief as the sons of Eli stole victory at The Game last weekend. Our Crimson contingent battled nobly, but in the end it was not valor nor skill, but ill fortune that decided the outcome. For once, Fate must have smiled on Yale, for a last-minute endzone "catch" gave the Bulldogs a 24-21 victory and a share of the Ivy League title...
...first place, in order to accurately judge the Chechen conflict, Russian citizens must be able to trust their government. The Soviet military machine was notorious for lying about the extent of casualties--both military and civilian--and this tendency to exaggerate military accomplishments has been readily adopted by the new regime. After the 1996 campaign in Chechnya was over, Russian President Boris Yeltsin admitted to a death toll significantly higher than that reported during the war and it is widely assumed that the Russian government is again intentionally underestimating casualties in order to bolster civilian support.

...sold securities at a gain, consider weeding out some losers--offsetting taxable gains with an equal amount of losses and taking an additional $3,000 in losses against ordinary income.

But once those have been offset, you may apply remaining long-term losses against short-term gains, allowing you to cancel a gain taxed at as much as 39.6% with a loss that should save only...
...than satisfying. Think back to really effective action sequences in recent movies, and you'll see it was their simplicity which made them compelling: from the straightforward careening of the bus in Speed, to the unpretentious mano y mano fighting in The Matrix. In the modern Bond world, everything must turn on fancy gizmos, fancier gizmos to counteract the original fancy gizmos, and if there's time, some more fancy gizmos, all of which have been concocted for the express purpose of being featured in fancy action sequences. And everything must not only blow up but cause the ubiquitous gasoline...
