...being published at the moment, and many of them are on display at the money show: the Astute Investor, the Busy Investor, the Patient Investor, the Contrary Investor, the Cheap Investor and so on. Most of them are solo operations, and one editor describes them unabashedly as the "alternative press" of the era. The wished-for kinship is not with some Age of Aquarius tabloid, of course, but with pamphleteers like Thomas Paine and Alexander Hamilton. The newsletter gurus see themselves as disabusers of Wall Street myth, as missionaries of economic truth. Since readers can lose big money if their...
...self-elected obscurity. His manuscripts and unpublished poems escaped a similar fate thanks to a contradiction in his will: one clause called for the destruction of these papers, while another allowed trustees of the estate the right to decide which ones merited publication. Given the choice between guillotine and press, the issue can hardly have been in much doubt.

Of perestroika, Solovyov said, the "minuses still significantly exceed the pluses." Moscow Mayor Valeri Saikin, another election loser, questioned whether democracy had not come to mean "everything is permitted...
That may be changing. General Motors will roll out its $50,000 Corvette ZR1 in September, and the automotive trade press is already gushing about the car with the sort of enthusiasm it usually reserves for $150,000 European exotics. "We have finally driven the ZR1 Corvette," raves Automobile magazine. "And without equivocation we can pronounce it the fastest and finest high- performance automobile America has ever produced...
