...orchard. Now he has a bumper crop: Apple announced it has sold more than 800,000 iMacs in the computer's first five months. The company will now turn a profit for the 5th straight quarter, and the stock price, which was languishing at around $12 a share when Jobs came back, closed at a robust 43 Tuesday. Healthy enough so that the next color might very well be pink...
...have a little Clinton in us, and like it or not, that's one of the reasons he remains so popular. At the same time--and it's part of the same truth--those who hate Clinton the most seem to have more than the average share of him inside them, which may be one reason that spittle forms at the corners of Representative Bob Barr's mouth when he talks about the President. Hear his Clintonian combination of self-pity and feigned ignorance after he was called a racist for addressing the Council of Conservative Citizens, a group that...
...golden days have not returned for the firm, where management must now report to an oversight committee. The original investors, relegated to a measly 10% share of the fund, have recovered only a sliver of their pre-August stakes.

Corporate welfare saves existing jobs from immigrating to Mexico. Also, the system inflates corporate bottom lines, as required for the steady elevation of share prices. It would be a serious mistake to curtail corporate welfare before we cure the ills that spawned it--free trade and years of sluggish economic growth. Until that is achieved, the system will continue to protect taxpayers from Washington's more egregious mistakes. JIM CASE Baltimore...
Anointed the next Tupac Shakur by the hip-hop press, the performer DMX has one of the better voices in rap: low, raw, charismatic. In fact, one could say he sounds like a cross between Barry White and McGruff the Crime Dog. However, DMX doesn't share McGruff's anticrime leanings: his new album, like his last, which went double platinum, is seething with viciousness and violence. His lyrics--often simple and clumsy--attack other black people, homosexuals and women. DMX is at his best when he becomes more contemplative, as he does in Coming From, a moving ballad...
