...shocking graphics to be convincing. The film ends with pictures of well-developed fetuses sitting in bloody buckets, followed by a moralistic speech by Nathanson about the obligation to stop abortions--and a strange claim that abortion clinics are run by organized crime. Still, Nathanson does make a smart move in urging not that all abortions be made illegal, but that women about to undergo the procedure view a film like "Silent Scream" that shows the process in detail. By the time I left the common room, I was ready to consider re-opening the book on my views...
...million. And with companies such as Chemdex, Silknet, Raging Bull and Medical Village preparing to go public and perhaps become the next Lycos or GeoCities, Wetherell's viral growth justifications of wild valuations will continue to be gospel in the Net economy. "David is so confident and so smart," says Bill Martin, 21, a University of Virginia dropout and one of the founders of Raging Bull, a financial Web community half-owned by CMGI.

My reporting team, ages 9 and 10, was shockingly smart, culturally aware, energetic and uninhibited. By this I mean that when we went to interview a page designer about her job, the girls, poised for a lucrative future in celebrity journalism, immediately asked the following questions: "Are you married? Do you have a boyfriend? Are you engaged? Are you dating...
...boys from Havana. The Cubans, national pride pulsing through their veins, are playing to even the series and have added several Major League-quality hitters to their roster, while the Orioles have rather messily imploded this season. In fact, the joke around Baltimore is that the only smart business decision team owner Peter Angelos has made this year is bringing the Cubans to town, hoping perhaps that the game could prove to be an entry point into the Cuban talent pool, which by some estimates contains as many as 75 Major League-caliber players. Currently, Cuban stars can't play...
