...only drawback was during parts when the full cast participated some words were lost in the tumult. However, a majority of the audience seemed to have memorized the lyrics, and those who were not as familiar with the score could infer meaning from the telling facial expressions of the cast. In theory, Sullivan’s music alone could have carried the show, and the well-rehearsed orchestra, led by concert mistress Joanna N. Huey ’06, conveyed the score’s many nuances...
...came on Oct. 15, when a trader sold roughly $140,000 of Bush contracts on Intrade for no obvious reason. Bush futures fell from 54¢ (giving him a 54% chance of winning) to 10¢. Within six minutes the price was back to 52¢, as traders snapped up bargains. The tumult led to speculation that someone might have been manipulating the market to plant doubts about Bush. But John Murray, a futures trader in New York City and one of Intrade's 43,000 members, says political biases don't sway serious traders. Neither do national polls. Instead, Murray does...
...makes its sixth pass through the tumult of the eyewall, Cione begins to look a little pale. "How many more are we going to make?" he groans. I too am savoring the calm as the plane traverses the eye. Ivan's is a big eye, some 40 miles across, and a mean-looking one too, occluded by glowering clouds.

China's fast-growing economy and voracious appetite for raw materials (as well as for cars, cell phones and other middle-class baubles) has made it an increasingly key trading partner for its neighbors. Demand from China, for example, played a large role in hauling Japan's export-driven economy out of a prolonged slump. The mainland's neighbors have already been warily monitoring Beijing's efforts to cool overheated sectors such as real estate, fearful that clampdowns...
...company-wide meeting where the public stock offering was to be officially announced and celebrated. Some were surely calculating their potential windfalls as they scampered down the hall, while others seemed apprehensive about the road ahead. My colleague and I were all but lost in the tumult until we emerged from building 41 and began scribbling notes down and snapping digital photos. Google security (yes, there is such a thing) pounced immediately admonishing us to cease and desist. "I was a second lieutenant in the Marines, do you want to play games?" said the stocky security guard. And that...
