...unusually placid period, making the recent action striking by contrast. Daily Dow moves of 1% or 2%, such as we've seen lately, had been sparse since 1991. But before that they were routine. The Chicago-based research firm Logical Information Machines calculates that since 1945 the Dow has risen or fallen at least 1% in a day 2,268 times, or an average of 44 times a year. It's happened 50 times this year. The news is that this is the way the stock market really behaves, which is a reason many people stayed out of stocks...
Several newcomers, most notably Williams (who did Mary J. Blige's lush clip Everything), Paul Hunter (Erykah Badu, Sean "Puffy" Combs), Jonathan Glazer (Radiohead, Jamiroquai) and Floria Sigismondi (Marilyn Manson, Tricky), have risen to the challenge. As a result, the directors themselves are becoming MTV stars. Williams and Hunter have almost become brand names; each has a colorful, highly recognizable style, and hip-hop stars--and even some alternative bands--are rushing to work with them. All four of these directors are up for multiple awards at next week's MTV Music Video Awards, and all four are starting...
Interestingly, some of the directors are contemptuous of the field in which they've risen to the top. "Music videos are largely rubbish," says Glazer, whose video Virtual Insanity, for the trippy Euro-dance group Jamiroquai, is nominated for a record 10 MTV awards.

...present who came forward to implicate his colleagues. Safir told TIME, "We are going to make sure the perpetrators...go to jail." Giuliani's critics say the mayor's concern is too little, too late. Civil claims paid by the city to those who sue charging police brutality have risen from $13.5 million in 1992 to $32 million last year, and 90% of all police-brutality cases in New York are filed by nonwhites. Safir says civilian complaints about police in New York were actually down 20% in the first half of this year, but critics say that's because...
...third rate, of 25%, for the sales of some types of rental property; and a fourth, of 28%, for such collectibles as rare coins. The G.O.P. also wants capital gains to be indexed for inflation--that is, the taxable gain would be reduced by the amount that prices had risen over the life of the investment. Treasury officials contend they would be forced to erect a whole new bureaucratic apparatus of agents, forms and experts to police the change. The changes could tempt investors to divert money into unproductive investments that nonetheless yield lightly taxed capital gains, like the half...
