Need some cheap advice from a market expert? Judging by the just disclosed portfolio of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, short-term T bills are the way to go.

(One unintended consequence: legal marriages between people who have become the same sex.) In Missouri, the house judiciary committee met in March to discuss the state's first civil rights bill to include "sexual orientation"--defined to include gender "self-image or identity."
