...What type of monopoly is Microsoft? A look at the prices is rather edifying, so it's a pity His Majesty didn't look a little longer. When Windows 3.0 first came out in April 1990, a copy went for $205. The initial price of Windows 98, on the other hand, was only $169. Lowering cost to the consumer, it seems, just doesn't correlate with market virtue anymore. Although, in all fairness to Jackson, we are talking about only an 18 percent reduction...
...welcoming services to foreign students. Still, their staffs are less nurturing than those in the U.S. In Britain the entire college experience bears almost no resemblance to an American one. As Cecile Divino, who recently attended the London School of Economics, observes, "In England there isn't the same type of community network that American colleges have." "It's hard," says Rachel Polner, "if you do have a serious problem, because you can't just hop on a flight and be home in two hours."

Since tabloid-type stories now crop up so frequently in mainstream print and on TV, Pecker wants the real tabloids to get more respect--and a bigger share of the action. "Right now only 8% of our revenue is advertising," he says. "I think there's an opportunity to get it up to 15% to 20%." To lure upscale advertisers, Pecker has swallowed a weekly loss...
...halftime show as the place to make its ruling may, however, be a mixed blessing to prayer advocates. After all, the Appeals Court in its ruling included something of a religious critique of the idea of halftime prayer when it noted that a football game was "hardly the sober type of... event that can be appropriately solemnized with prayer." But the Supreme Court is unlikely to try and adjudicate on the question of when devotional references are appropriate and when they're inappropriate. After all, how long would it be before the Justices were forced to consider the constitutionality...
