...engage in risk arbitrage, or speculation in takeover stocks. In theory, such investment banks have erected so-called Chinese walls of discretion between the acquisition specialists on the one side and the arbitragers on the other.

...giant stream 40 ft. into the air to shower down and create another glowing peak that can be seen for miles across the tableland. "They say McDonald's has the Golden Arches," he chuckles. "We do better." Storing corn outdoors is risky. Bell lays down a sheet of porous polypropylene, adds gravel and lime, concrete containment walls, aeration tubes and fans. When he is finished, he will cover the corn with plastic held down by old tires. He does not want to keep the corn that way longer than a few months. If he does,"hot spots" will develop where...

...procedure that has given Lewis a future somewhat resembles kidney dialysis. Patients undergoing LDL-pheresis sit or recline for three to four hours as their blood circulates through two specialized devices. The first separates blood cells from blood plasma; the second filters the plasma through a jar of porous beads coated with an antibody that traps LDL. The beauty of the procedure, says its developer, German Biochemist Wilhelm Stoffel, is that "the antibody picks out only LDL."

Not a bad unit, but the porous front three leave this group to make too many tackles. DEFENSIVE SECONDARY: This is the area many consider Harvard's best. Led by senior safety Cecil Cox, who has picked off six passes, the Harvard defensive secondary has consistently come up with the big play and has largely made...
