There it is again: the Marijuana Exception...the Reefer Loophole. All the idiots who drank Canadian Club and Heineken for breakfast, or wrecked themselves on smack or meth--they know they done wrong. But "merely" smoking pot? Well...
Today's unspeakably low dividends are a smack-between-the-eyes testament to dramatic and fundamental changes in the stock market in the 1990s. That's not to say the market has changed for the worse. Stocks have been a phenomenal investment this decade. But don't kid yourself. Risks have escalated. Investors failing to recognize that could get blindsided by a market drop.

It's a mission that might seem as foolhardy as Custer's, but The West has much of the same appeal that drew record audiences (for PBS) to The Civil...
...Smack in the middle of northern Illinois dairy country, and about 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Harvard is a typical Midwestern farm town. Most of the 5,975 residents work on dairy farms, in tool and plastics manufacturing, or in health care. In June, Motorola Inc., the telecommunications giant, completed a cellularphone facility, and is the town's largest employer. About 15 percent of the population is Hispanic...
