...assets include cash and marketable securities of $170,000. Curiously, Whitewater is not mentioned by name as an asset. The statement lists $50,000 as "Real Estate Partial Interest" and $50,000 in "Loans Receivable." It isn't clear what assets these entries describe, but, presumably, they refer to Whitewater. The Clintons don't appear to have owned any other real estate at that time, and the only "investment or holding" identified on Governor Clinton's statement of financial interest, filed with the Arkansas secretary of state, is Whitewater. If the assets are meant to describe their interest in Whitewater...
...Members of PriceCostco and Sam's Club, a unit of Wal-Mart, pay annual fees for the right to get reduced prices on everything from stationery to a side of beef.

Does he refer to a time when racism no longer exists in this country of 250 million and rising? "From where I sit," it appears that prejudice will not be eliminated until the Last Judgment. Or does Professor Kilson mean that the mature stage will be around the year 2070, when the last Civil Rights widow tells all--that is, when...
...Kleiner Perkins Caulfied & Byers, a Menlo Park venture-capital firm that has helped finance dozens of new companies, including Netscape and Pixar. Doerr says Kleiner Perkins clients have created 150,000 new jobs in the past five years alone and have reinforced America's technological edge. "Some people refer to [IPOs] as a game," Doerr says. "But the notion that an entrepreneur can have a big idea and gain financial independence for his family is at the very heart of the American system of fair play." Echoing that sentiment is Dan Case, chairman of Hambrecht & Quist, a San Francisco venture...
