...fault in the way Kim Jong Il comported himself at the summit (although commentators in Seoul wryly noted that during one of the celebrations he slung back 10 glasses of wine to five for President Kim). As the euphoria fades, however, the reality checks have begun. Some observers warn that this could be yet another North Korean plot, elaborately staged to make the South let down its guard. On the other hand, if Pyongyang is sincere, what next? The agreement signed by the two Kims is skimpy on details. Reuniting separated families is an appealing idea, but more than...
...begin, I must warn you: Harvard is slightly intense and somewhat competitive. After the undergraduate-wide CityStep dance, you can watch with amusement as 6,000 of the most gung-ho students in the world throw elbows and scramble attempting to find a place on the first shuttle bus back to the Square. But there is variety in the student body and for every outspoken leader, there is a behind-the-scenes coordinator. With time, students gravitate toward activities and friends that reflect themselves. It may take some searching but everyone eventually finds his or her niche...
Talk Miramax had First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams warn Drudge that he, not Miramax, would bear responsibility for airing the manuscript.

We've survived April showers, or as was the case this year, an April deluge; sunny days must lie ahead. I sure hate to warn of more rain. But the annual summer rally that traders often speak of is unspectacular at best, and this year there's this little matter of being in a bear market...
...system designed to handle the increased traffic. Unfortunately, the system is now 10 years late (and counting) - and has not inspired a great deal of confidence in anyone familiar with NTSB safety concerns. One particularly alarming flaw in the new system involves the procedure by which air traffic controllers warn pilots when a plane is on a collision course with, say, a catering truck: By the time both vehicles show up on the system, reaction time has been cut to seconds. Not the ideal situation if you're trying to stop a 150,000-pound...
