...little money to be squeezed out of those in bankruptcy, especially since trustees already collect about $4 billion from debtors each year, a sum that includes proceeds from liquidated assets. Even if they could find an additional $1 billion, the economic and emotional costs of doing so would far outweigh the return. To put it in perspective, the estimated $1 billion that might be collected would amount to two-tenths of 1 percentage point of outstanding revolving credit. If trustees were able to scare up another $4 billion--as the industry claims but few in the bankruptcy system believe possible...
...reaches zero by 2010. And G.O.P. Governor George W. Bush of Texas has vowed to kill the tax outright if elected President. Many Democrats agree with Vice President Al Gore that a repeal would be a sop to the rich. But others believe the benefits for small companies outweigh that concern.

...heard all the arguments for a new stadium, and I've come to accept them. It's long overdue, and the benefits for everyone who loves baseball should probably outweigh the nostalgic value of old Fenway. But even though I try, I can't let go. I passed the Save Fenway display in the window of Cambridge Trust on the way to the T and immediately began to miss the dusty tunnels and cramped seating in the ballpark.

...that although the experimental fish are bred to be sterile, one mistake - one fish that escapes - could ruin wild populations. The GM fish are known to have a lower egg-survival rate, weaker muscle structure and poorer swimming performance than normal salmon. But the economic arguments seem sure to outweigh the environmental ones. "After all, we've practically fished out our oceans already," says TIME science writer Frederic Golden, "and we need an alternative supply." To counter the risks, the developers of GM fish say they will apply an electric shock to the super salmon embryos, causing infertility in adulthood...
