...relax. Ride your little electric scooters, and eat your free salmon carpaccio. You and your $500 stock are fine, probably. The only scary thing is, Microsoft has a history of trying to turn big numbers into industry dominance even when it doesn't have lots of good ideas. It's done this in software through its near monopolies in operating systems and Web browsers. If Microsoft eats Yahoo!, it will also have dominance in Web-based e-mail, instant messaging and Web portals. That's got to be a temptation. Sure, Google is "the No. 1 search player," a source...

...Artful equivocations are even worse; lynx-eyed sly little rascals that we are, we see right through them. (Up to exam 40. Then our lynx eyes droop, and grading habits relax. Try to get on the bottom of the pile.) Again, it is not that A.E.’s are vicious or ludicrous as such; but in quantity they become sheer madness. Or induce it. “The 20th century has never recovered from the effects of Marx and Freud.” (V.G.); “But whether or not this is a good thing...
