Eventually, of course, the clubs are going to have to go. For now, they're pretty low on the list of the world's evils, but final clubs as we know them will probably go the way of WASP-only country club (if the WASP-only country club has, as I hope, gone that way). While I fully acknowledge a difference in degree between final clubs and other, more extreme branches of the elitist patriarchy, they're still on the same continuum, and the march of history seems to suggest that somehow, at some point, their number will come...
...make sense if your losers are still worth holding. If you do sell and generate the tax loss, you can't hold onto that loss if you repurchase the stock within 30 days. So buy another stock in the same industry. "This is especially simple in the mutual-fund world," observes Tom Ochsenschlager, tax partner at Grant Thornton. Sell a losing fund, realize the loss for tax reasons, and immediately buy another fund just like...
Here is a paradox of America's health-care system: the U.S. invents most of the world's great prescription drugs, but thousands of Americans cross into Canada and Mexico to buy them. Some go on their own; others ride buses in organized tours sponsored by senior-citizen advocacy groups.

These are the identical life-improving, death-defying drugs that they would get at home--but for a fraction of the cost. And so it is on a November day in Nuevo Laredo...
...course the work of policymakers could well be sidetracked by the spread of the Internet, which has already begun to turn the world into a global pharmacy. Hundreds of sites are springing up on the Net, housed abroad and not easily scrutinized by regulatory agencies. For the moment, such sites are still cumbersome to use. But there is the risk that in the future, it may not matter how finely tuned Medicare policy is if, say, Mauritania can sell prescription drugs at a fraction of their cost in the U.S. Meanwhile, Americans with prescriptions in hand continue to cross...
Clinton has left us with a political world where any attempts by candidates to be the real thing are suspect. But the authenticity thing has worked well for Bradley. Thanks to his cranky moments and his rumpled suits, Bradley seems unteachable in the tricks of the imagemeisters. Two-thirds of likely Democratic primary voters find Bradley not your typical politician. So imagine how jarring it was to learn that, like a typical politician, Bradley sought help for his campaign from Madison Avenue, and did so secretly. The effort began 16 months ago, according to Adweek, when Bradley sat himself down...
