...will reap some absolutely extraordinary benefits. If you don't you'll get great benefits somewhere else. But most importantly, your chances of predicting your college experience wherever you go are probably only a little bit better than filling out perfect Final Four bracket--although if that's your thing, I'd give Duke a long look...
...Although the FARC doesn't cultivate or trade narcotics itself, it provides an almost impenetrable wall of protection for the farmers and traffickers in the dense jungles and swamps of the south.

Alan Greenspan just got some great news, but Wall Street had better pray that he sees it that way.

Bill Gates' date with destiny has been postponed - for up to ten days. Although compromise talks between Microsoft and the government reportedly foundered in recent days, the federal mediator has asked the ruling judge for an extension so the two sides can continue to reach a deal. If talks break down again, the software company faces the strong possibility they will be found guilty of antitrust violations. And while U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, who will rule on the case if the two sides do not reach an agreement, has not set a firm deadline for a settlement...
