...says, "but a terrible saver." Last week she called her mortgage officers to learn why her monthly house payment rose from $592 to $616, even though interest rates are falling; the answer was higher insurance fees and taxes. After that she socks away $150 every other month into a mutual fund, while trying to erase $14,000 in credit-card debt by next year. Bob Dole's 15% tax cut would help, but she doubts it will ever happen. "That's probably what I would say if I were running for President...
...highway in Italy. He died two days later, on Oct. 1, three weeks after his seventh birthday. His parents donated his organs, an act that saved seven lives and was met with a huge outpouring of affection in Italy.

Massood has been skirmishing with the Taliban since the movement drove Afghanistan's government out of Kabul two weeks ago, and Dostum says he fears he will be next. The men lead a minority population in the north that fears persecution from...
...stock market crash, but missed the boom which followed it as well. Over the period from June 1985 to June 1995, Harvard's annual return was only 13 percent. The Wall Street Journal has commented, "Any schmo could easily have beaten that simply plunking cash down into a lowcost mutual fund that mimics the behavior of Standard & Poor's 500-stock index." Moreover, for fiscal year 1995, the endowment returned 16.8 percent, a fairly paltry rate compared to the S&P's return of 26.1 percent...
