...last six months, however, the robust sales of Apple's new candy-colored wonder, the iMAC, propelled its national market share to about 10 percent once again...
...A.M.A., they've turned positively bleak for a lot of doctors. Managed care has slashed revenue as overhead continues to climb. Physicians have to see more patients in less time. Nurses and pharmacists are poaching on their territory. Bureaucrats second-guess their decisions. Is it any wonder that union membership and disability claims are soaring among doctors? Or that more and more have started moonlighting outside of medicine to supplement their income...
...Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and, later on, Benny Goodman and "Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees." Midcentury, things start to rock with Chuck Berry, "Wop-bop-a-loo-bop a-lop bam boom!" the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, "a hard rain's a-gonna fall," Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder.

No wonder visitors to Colorado's slopes, which until recently were beset by weak snowfall, are down 11% this year. That means, of course, that the state's a bit eager for business. So if you prefer to ski there, be sure to haggle and ask about special discounts...
