...months to build up a position." Danoff is candid about the downside of running a fund so large: "You're racing a Mack truck against a speedster [i.e., a smaller, competing fund]. I go 45 miles per hour, and the speedster goes 70 miles an hour. But he may spin out at some point. I'll do well if I stay out of trouble...
Indeed, far too many contemporary sitcoms have veered away from the Mary Tyler Moore Show's example of mining workplace humor simply from well-limned, quasi-believable characters. NewsRadio has been a smart exception to the recent rule, and so too is Spin City (ABC, Tuesdays 9:30 p.m. EDT), one of the most energetically promoted new shows of the fall season...
...essence of the hybrid is that very little energy is wasted. Not only does the turbine re-spin the flywheel, but so does braking, which in today's cars produces energy that is lost. The same goes for fuel. With a catalytic "combustor" on the turbine that burns gas more efficiently, the power train will produce what is, by EPA standards, "zero emissions." According to the Rosens, the turbo-flywheel combination will at least double the gas mileage of the car in which it is used, produce a satisfying sound not unlike that of a Lear Jet (albeit far quieter...
...field in part because Harold and his team of engineers have solved a set of daunting technological issues just in the past year. Harold is, after all, a rocket scientist. For instance, he has been able to create and sustain a relatively pure vacuum in which the flywheel spins, using such exotic devices as molecular drag pumps and molecular sieves. A better vacuum means less friction, thus better spin. He also has been able to suspend the rapidly spinning flywheel in its unstable environment by using sophisticated gimbals and magnetic bearings--something very few, if any, other scientists are thought...
...shameful for the President to be manipulated like a puppet and in turn bamboozle this great country? How instructive for the gullible voter to see the way smooth talkers, fast operators and spin controllers are trying to win the election at any cost. YOAN ZAIFER Pompano Beach, Florida...
