...Giuliani has crippled the Civilian Review Board and supported the New York Police Department (NYPD) in all actions, at best ignoring and oftentimes supporting white supremacist officers in their destruction of civil rights. When the New York Civil Liberties Union found that the number of police brutality claims had risen 32 percent in one year during his tenure, Mayor Giuliani did not rush to scrutinize his army in blue, but blasted the report...
...Apple Computers Inc. and Stride Rite, a worn-out shoe company. But CalPERS also stepped on sneaker company Reebok. This is odd, given that Reebok's stock has doubled in 10 months and beaten the market averages handily in the past year. That's not all: Reebok shares have risen an average annual 29% since the bull market began in October 1990--outdistancing the average stock, which has risen just 16% a year. Granted, Reebok had some lean years. And next to fleet-footed Nike, its problems glowed in the dark. But management got back in training and since...

They are healthier, their families have a higher income, the level of their mother's education (the most important determinant of a child's intelligence) has risen. But 1 out of every 10 children three years old and younger lives in "extreme poverty"--at or below 50% of the federal poverty level.

Meanwhile, the average general stock fund has been lagging: 19.4% last year; 12.5%, on average, each of the past 10 years. Historically speaking, those returns are phenomenal. But next to the average returns easily available through...
...exports." Baumohl says the trend is close to shifting. "The trade deficit is expected to turn around next year when Japan's and Europe's economies begin to rebound," Baumohl says. "Hopefully we're at the worst point in the cycle right now." American trade deficits have risen every year under President Clinton despite his Administration?s efforts to make trade imbalance a key foreign policy priority. Two other factors contributing to the trade deficit are the continued strength of the dollar (which makes U.S. exports more expensive overseas and imports cheaper in the U.S.) and the problem of closed...
