...scientists, the discovery of buckyballs has been like stumbling across % an unexpected cache of buried treasure. Only two other distinctive forms of pure carbon have ever been found: ordinary graphite and precious diamonds. The atom clusters in graphite are flattened into hexagons, like tiles on a bathroom floor, while the atoms in diamonds form tiny pyramids. The molecular structure of buckyballs is so radically different that researchers hope this third form of carbon will lead to a whole new class of materials with a multitude of uses...

According to the Nilson Report, a California-based industry newsletter, the company made $600 million in pure profit from its credit-card business last year, far more than from all its other operations combined. For competing issuers as well, credit cards are still so temptingly profitable that more customer-pleasing promotions are almost certainly...
