...health and beauty products to a rousing chorus of approval. A crush of visitors overwhelmed the site. Another admirer is online bookseller Amazon.com which said it had acquired 40% of the fledgling company. For Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, the investment made sense. He has been on the prowl for other retail businesses that fit Amazon's amazing model, and the health-and-beauty sector is six times as large as the book market. "Nobody likes going to the drugstore," Bezos jokes. This week PlanetRx, headed by former FedEx operations chief Bill Razzouk, is expected to launch its own vast shop...

...Point, R.I., shipyard last week, riggers and welders were busy bending steel into the first pieces of a new class of nuclear attack submarines. When launched in 2004, the U.S.S.

...Freshman Week is so beyond passe, the Yardlings are starting to develop precocious Harvard 'tudes of their own. None of the so-called cool frosh (oxymoron check!) will deign to eat at Annenberg, so they're flooding the House dining halls. Watch out for the scarcely postpubescent on the prowl for upperclassman friendship, fun, and more. Yech. The correct response to, "Hey baby, what's your concentration?" is to forget your tray and bus your ass out of there...
