Prechter republished Elliott's books and in 1979 went into the forecasting business for himself at what he dubbed the Elliott Wave Institute. In 1981 he moved his operation to Gainesville, Ga., an hour north of Atlanta, and he's been there ever since. His accurate forecasts of a stock-market boom in the 1980s and a crash in the autumn of 1987 made him, for a time, one of the most influential Wall Street gurus. After the market started its 1990s bull run, though, Prechter seemed to lose his touch. In 1995 his book At the Crest...

Despite genetics and the 18 years we spent together, our family is less like us than the people we choose to associate with. Which means, sadly, that one day Laszlo will be fundamentally more in tune with...
...mood and tone here are less bustling than in earlier Almodóvars. This time his energy went into the dense plot scheme, with its duplication of characters and family dynamics. One thing hasn't changed: the director's skill at bringing out the star quality of his performers. Homar, a Spanish stage veteran, handsomely shoulders the weight of the film. As for Cruz, in her fourth Almodóvar film, she's never been more luminous, serious or sexy. Her Lena is woman enough to justify one man's need to possess or destroy her and another's desire...
