Bradley's staff, which at Dartmouth scoffed at Gore's rapid-response handouts ("They're fighting the last war," sniffed an aide), is sending out attack faxes slapping Gore for "promises without price tags."

William Cockshoot, a Chicago commodities trader, finds he is better able to catch a price spread at night that would be snapped up faster by competitors during the day. The corporate investigators who work for International Business Research of Princeton, N.J., a firm that guards against computer hackers, can work at home because their beepers and e-mails alert them when their suspects go online...
