...past a sign that says MIDDLEBURY, INDIANA, HOME OF THE 1995 JUNIOR MISS. We turn left on Route 120, headed for the open road under a canopy of oaks. The whole slab is ours, Seattle to Savannah. All its parks, all its hills and valleys, all its roadside hash houses. Who says we ever have to turn back...
BELFAST, Northern Ireland: Perhaps the habit of violence can be changed after all. With the standoff in Portadown ready to turn into a massive weekend eruption, Protestant would-be marchers and the Catholic residents they would march past were talking Friday -- through intermediaries -- about a compromise.

...between marching and not marching, is there any room for compromise? "If I knew that, I'd be the Northern Ireland Secretary," says Hillenbrand.

...Yahoo's earnings prove it's the strongest company in the group, says TIME Wall Street columnist Daniel Kadlec. Will it turn out to be the next Microsoft? "That's a crazy bet to make and yet everybody's making it," Kadlec says. "Yahoo is riding a mania for Internet stocks, just like the mania for biotech in 1991. These stocks have so much room to collapse." Indeed, in announcing only a 2-for-1 split Wednesday (effective in August), Yahoo might be signaling that it knows some bearish days are coming. Notes Kadlec: "A $200 stock price means Yahoo...
