...finally over. After five years and nigh on $50 million of phony, partisan investigations and more than a year of media hysteria and round-the-clock cable coverage, the scandal has finally come to a close. The Senate vote will mark an end to this ugly chapter, and congressional Democrats and Republicans will make peace and begin solving the problems of the next millennium...
These days, the airport is filled with Detroiters who are defecting to Pro Air because of walk-up fares that are as much as 85% cheaper than Northwest's. For instance, an unreserved seat to Indianapolis, Ind., cost $578 round trip before Pro Air came to town with its deal of $138. Northwest was forced to match.

"We're on the edge of a revolution out here," boasts Stamper...

But it does make the stock more affordable for small investors, who like to buy in round lots of, say, 100 shares. That's one reason stocks that split have historically got about a 5% lift between the date of the announcement and the actual split. Lately, though, the pop has been more explosive. EBay rose a quick 37%; Xerox, 10%; Microsoft, 12%. People now pay for services that alert them via pager or e-mail...
