...Whatever went wrong, it was more than Kennedy could handle. New radar data released Monday showed that the plane dropped toward the water at 4,700 feet a minute ? 10 times faster than the normal rate of descent. Investigators aren?t sure what that says about the cause of the crash, other than that the problem was severe, and the plane was out of control. To TIME aviation correspondent Jerry Hannifin, that final plummet is a sign that the pilot simply took on more than he was qualified for. "Anyone who has flown regularly on the East Coast in summer...
...prospectus! Brocade, which makes fiber-channel switches--something that has the look and feel of Cisco--jumped from 19 to 116 in five weeks after coming public on the back of this buzz. Redback, a high-speed broadband IPO with enough Cisco overlap to be cast as Junior, went from 23 to 163 in two months. But none of them can touch the run of Juniper Networks, a newly minted maker of next-generation routers. A direct competitor of Cisco's, it jumped from 34 to 162 in five days. Now we are talking certifiable Son of Cisco. Even...
Before I left, I meant to practice pitching. What I focused on instead was what to wear. I examined old photos of Presidents' throwing out first pitches, most of whom went with suits.

This, I figured, would not only go over well with the crowd but was also completely expensable...
...soccer mom before pollsters knew there was such a thing. Courtney became a Stoddert Stomper, playing on the team at the neighborhood school. There she was in a bright gold mesh-and-Lycra uniform, shoes with cleats. Much of the time, it wasn't pretty; the kids all went where the ball was. They were sprinting, passing, lunging and kicking with abandon, just like the boys. I stood there amazed. A child I hardly recognized as my own hurled herself toward the goal, squealing like a maniac at the satisfaction of competing like the boys, and delighted at how much...
...into his campaign chest, he had six donors cover the tab. Too clever, says Steve Forbes' team, which charges that the end run is a violation of campaign laws that prohibit individuals from giving more than $1,000 to a candidate. The Bush folks say that since the money went to the Iowa Republican Party, they broke no rules. Perhaps that kind of fiscal ingenuity is why Bush has spent only a fifth of the $37 million he has raised and why he announced he would forgo nearly $17 million in matching federal funds in exchange for not being held...
