...much to pay for a TV set, consider yourself spoiled. In the 1950s, when the cathode-ray tube was cutting edge, an average TV cost about $1,000, according to Semenza. Adjusted for inflation, that's $6,700 today?comparable to the most advanced flat-screen TVs. The advent of the flat TV is seen by an electronics industry accustomed to razor-thin margins as a chance to reap some fat profits from a new technology. Japan's Sharp Corp. announced this month that sales of LCD TVs contributed to pushing up profits 40% in the first half of this...
...dense but airy, layered with intensely complicated but immediately ingratiating vocal arrangements and Parks’ beautiful, obscure lyrics. Some songs were finished; others were short, orphaned segments; some never made it past the demo stage. A small but growing core of diehard fans kept the flame burning.

They had four hit singles in 1970, two more already this year, four albums, with all 10 releases selling in the millions, and one (I'll Be There) already well over 4,000,000 ... They have their own magazine, a quarterly in which fans can revel...
...while the advent of an NID would recast the intelligence community's pecking order, it could also make things worse. "There's too little competition for ideas already in this business," says John Hamre, Deputy Secretary of Defense in the Clinton Administration. "That's what happened with WMD. If you have one guy for whom everybody works, then you're going to start getting a homogeneous view." And despite its calls for sweeping organizational change, the 9/11 panel offers few specific suggestions for how the U.S. and its allies can improve in the most critical area of all: getting actionable...
