...Normandy Plaza Hotel, just a block down the road, where Cunanan apparently checked in on May 12 and holed up for two months before the murder. According to the hotel's owner, James Falin, investigators later seized a pair of electric clippers and some fashion magazines from Cunanan's $39-a-night efficiency. Though law-enforcement officials won't confirm that Cunanan stayed there, Falin is convinced Cunanan is the man who checked into Room 205 two months ago, changed rooms three times and left a day or two before the Versace murder, still owing a night's rent...
...that stocks in the S&P 500 are especially vulnerable. I'm not saying this is the time to buy an S&P 500 index fund.

"Four years down the road, even those Alaskans who are profiteering now are going to suffer because, buddy, there won't be any fish...
...movies and gave us the delightful alternative reality of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The success of Forrest Gump has made him Hollywood's philosopher-king, free to spend a fortune doing for the simple pieties what he recently did for simple-mindedness: make them look like a nice easy road to spiritual fulfillment. Zemeckis and his colleagues have been all over the press congratulating themselves on throwing an intellectually challenging movie into the summer maelstrom. What this tells us about them--and if Contact is a hit, the rest of us--is too depressing to contemplate...
