...expect stocks to take so big a fall. Most agree that what we saw last week did not reflect any disastrous weakening of the U.S. economy. Instead it represented a healthy correction of an overpriced stock market. The good news was that few individual investors seemed to engage in panic selling. But their faith, and their sense of prosperity, will probably be tested again in the weeks and months ahead...
First of all, don't panic. If you're on a Mac, you're safe. If you're using any version of Eudora that precedes 4.0 -- including the free Eudora Light program downloadable from eudora.com -- you're also safe. Furthermore, Qualcomm promises to post a patch on that site as early as Friday afternoon (a far cry from Microsoft and Netscape, who are taking substantially longer to patch up their bugs). If their home page is too busy, or if the Eudora patch (like Microsoft's first attempt) fails to completely debug the problem, you might want to remember what...

With hotel, fortunately, Amos has most definitely returned to the land of the reachable, though she's still not necessarily listed in the phone book. At points, some songs bear a hint of panic hidden in their almost predictable musical passages, almost as if Amos frightened herself with the inaccessibility of "Pele" and is holding back to be accepted by the mainstream music scene again. But for the most part, the album stands up as listenable (think "Tori Amos Lite"), with passages that are doomed to be caught in one's head for hours at a time--which is definitely...
