...volatility we're seeing today, representing the stock market crashes of 1929 and 1987. The difference between the two: while the market quickly calmed down after 1987, it took years to regain a sense of normalcy after 1929. "We don't know if this is a '29 or '87 type of spike," Engle said. "We're all trying to figure that...
Portnoy (one always wants to type Porn-toy) was born, like Roth, in 1933; Marcus Messner, the hero of Indignation, is a year older. Like Portnoy, Marcus comes from a smotheringly protective Jewish family in Newark, N.J. ("You are a boy with a magnificent future ahead of you," Marcus' father tells him. "How do I know you're not going to places where you can get yourself killed?") Like Portnoy, Marcus escapes to college in Ohio, where he is baffled and inflamed by the attentions of a sexually unfettered shiksa. Unlike Portnoy, Indignation is a weird, flawed little book, full...
Boston Ballet is currently performing this most recent incarnation, which will run through Oct. 26, 2008.

There is no happily-ever-after in a distant enchanted castle?...

A preferable format would be to not include class years, but assign every student an address that includes their full name. Although these addresses may seem unduly long, it is rare that students ever must type out a full address to send an e-mail, as drop down menus allow users to select the appropriate address after entering only the first few letters in the string. This new and improved format will drastically decrease the incidence of students with numbers in their e-mail address, which...
...Hoffman quoted Hamlet, saying, “Conscience does make cowards of us all,” while discussing tax policy. Each debater was given two minutes to answer questions that ranged from whether proceedings in the Supreme Court should be broadcast on C-SPAN to the amount and type of experience necessary for a candidate to be qualified for the presidency. Debaters stayed within time limits without any red lights or warnings from the moderator. The debate format included time for responses from the other debaters, as well as closing statements from each participant. Debaters took strong stances...
