Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, racked up $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job to pay it off slowly herself. "Now, every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket," Giselle says. "That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions...
...studies of herbs and so-called alternative remedies (see accompanying story). Among the eye-opening findings: Americans today make more visits to nontraditional physicians, including naturopaths who claim expertise in herbs and other natural therapies, than to their family doctors. And they spend almost as much out of pocket (not reimbursed by health insurance) on alternative medicine ($27 billion) as on all unreimbursed physician services ($29 billion).

The settlement does not exempt him from a possible contempt citation by federal judge Susan Webber Wright for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky in the Jones case. But the deal will give the President...
...Bajarin of Creative Strategies. He expects this category to account for 20% of all notebook sales over the next few years. The new "Jupiter class" notebooks that run on the Windows CE operating system are just as svelte but cost a mere $1,000. They can run only limited "pocket" versions of Windows applications, but their long, 10-to-12-hr. battery life and low cost make them a good fit for lots of mobile workers...
