...instabilities may have been of a nature that some traffic was getting through--but it wasn't a reliable communications stream," Osterberg said. "Sometimes an unreliable stream is worse than no stream...
Since then, it is as if Son & Co. trained a fire hose on Silicon Valley and pumped in a steady stream of cash. President Gary Rieschel figures that in 1996, with Softbank Technology Ventures still an unknown in the valley, it invested $200 million in 55 companies in four months-- although "investing" hardly describes the act of writing checks as fast as you can.

Stronger efforts include the versions of "Ironic" (with a completely reinvented melody), the orchestral "You Oughta...
...NTSB leaks - and the Egyptian pooh-poohing of such conjecture - has made life difficult for both Washington and Cairo. "There's a lot at stake here because both sides need to preserve their strategic relationship," says TIME Cairo bureau chief Scott MacLeod. "The Egyptians are very resentful of the stream of leaks to the media, which have pointed the blame at the Egyptian pilot. In Cairo, nothing would be leaked to the media until the case was closed...
