...DIED. JOHN SACK, 74, author, war correspondent and pioneer of the New Journalism; in San Francisco. Sack reported from the battlefields of every major U.S. conflict from Korea to Afghanistan. His 33,000-word piece "Oh My God?We Hit a Little Girl," which followed an infantry company in Vietnam, is the longest article ever to appear in Esquire. After interviewing Lieut.

...Pioneer "neuroeconomists" around the country are ready to knock out the centuries-old model of Homo economicus, or "economic man," the perfectly reasonable, largely imaginary being who day in and day out maximizes his utility and gains and always clearly seeks the right thing to do. It's the foundation for Wall Street's "efficient market," which holds that every trade neatly reflects all available information. In theory, the saying goes, practice and theory are the same.
