...both, simultaneously. The jury is still out. And may always be out. This ambivalence is simply the dualism of the world, the secret of its magnetic fields, its gigantic plus and stupendous minus. We split the atom, and what was the moral meaning of Hiroshima? The lives saved? Or the lives incinerated...
...ticket sales. But even as she has become a regular part of our Friday nights at the movies, she's become an integral part of our weekdays at the water cooler--most recently because of her breakup with actor Benjamin Bratt, her boyfriend of nearly four years. (They actually split not long after the Oscars, but she still calls him "the greatest guy.") We follow her personal travails because we project our dreams onto movie stars, and so we want her to live happily ever after. A decade ago, as Pretty Woman's naughty-but-nice hooker, she became...

Then some bright (or desperate) spark at company HQ in Foster City came up with the idea of a 25 to 1 reverse stock split. In other words, for every 25 shares you owned before the split, you'd now only own one. The resulting drought should leave Webvan standing $2 tall. Above water, but at what cost? The one major precedent for a reverse stock split in the dotcom world is not encouraging...
