...Board of Overseers who met Sunday on the 64th floor of the GE building in Manhattan to vote unanimously for Summers. This slim mandate means a soured economy, and no tax cuts may prompt voters to turn against Bush in the polls for his inability to stop the market slide. Perhaps he'll call on Baker Professor of Economics Martin S. Feldstein, another world-renowned economist who, like Summers, used to work in government but has since returned to the Academy. If Feldstein were to leave for Washington, there would be an opening for a new instructor for Social Analysis...

It's impeccably stylish, right down to its cobalt blue docking station and purple cable connector, and at $150 to $190 (depending on the type of PC connection you choose), it's cheaper than most full-size handhelds. It's custom-made for notebook users who can slide it into a PC card slot for updates. True, it doesn't offer all the expansion options of the bigger handhelds, such as games, e-books and MP3 players. And I wish it had a backlit screen to make reading its small type easier in the dark. But overall, Rex does...
