...piece of prime Harvard Square real estate. Daedalus is located just close enough to the River Houses for undergraduates to stumble home safely. It is close enough to Tommy's Pizzeria so that those who have spent all their money on drinks can still scrap together enough for a slice or two. And it is close enough to The Crimson for--well, for headlines to be more interesting from...
...Even with the heavy perfusion of anti-freeze into your system, your body is still mostly water, and each polar water molecule is just waiting to partner up with its nearest neighbor in a nice hydrogen bond as the temperature plummets. And as water crystals begin to form they slice and dice their way through your cells, Benihana-ing until they homogenize your now frozen cellular structure. Bummer...
Nearly 100 of the largest corporate plans have at least 30% of 401(k) assets in their own shares, says the Institute of Management and Administration's DC Plan Investing Report. That's a hefty slice sure to couple painful volatility in the short run with potential disaster in the long run. Some plans, such as those at Sherwin-Williams (92%), Dell (88%) and Pfizer (89%), are almost entirely in company stock. It looks great when times are good, but there's a double whammy that hits home if the company's fortunes ever fade, as has been the case...
Married couples can leave as much as $1.35 million to heirs tax free. That limit rises to $2 million by 2006. This is no small amount, for sure. But above that threshold Uncle Sam takes a hefty slice. The top marginal rate is 55%. Shouldn't parents with, say, $4 million be able to leave $1 million to each of four children? The savings have already been taxed as income or would be taxed as capital gain when heirs tapped it. Yet the estate tax--essentially, double taxation--virtually precludes the moderately rich from bequeathing financial security. This...
...reasons to wonder if they haven't started looking as old as Paul McCartney. (And remember, he was the Cute Beatle.) At one time it probably seemed that rock music was entirely yours, a thing that you could imagine grew out of your own fevered brain. Now a good slice of it apparently belongs to somebody else, somebody who likes gangsta rap and tinny kid pop and fight songs from WWF Smackdown! It doesn't help that this week the Grammy for album of the year may go to Eminem, the white rapper who wants to rape his mother...
