...DIED. DALE EVANS, 88, buckskin-tassled "Queen of the West" who rode across both big and little screens in two TV shows and nearly 40 films alongside celluloid cowboy husband Roy Rogers; in Apple Valley, California. A single, teenage mother in Uvalde, Texas, Evans worked as a stenographer before launching a career as a radio singer and songwriter who would win a place in the all-time hit parade with the king of cowboy songs, Happy Trails...

Despite her immense popularity, she was often outbilled by her husband's horse, Trigger, which co-starred in 90-plus...

"I think we may be in the beginning phases of what I call a stealth bull market." Much, of course, turns on interest rates, and the TIME economists called for a round of rate reductions for the U.S. in the first two quarters of this year. They got part of their wish, as Alan Greenspan's Federal Reserve cut the cost of borrowing by half a percentage point on Jan. 31. To keep the economy steady, though...
