...blame them? No one understands better than the Kennedys what it costs to go into politics. If they seize what has been held up as a birthright, they must also accept the diminishing, suffocating comparisons that come with walking in the footprints of giants. "They're all competing with icons and legends," says political consultant David Axelrod, who has worked with several of them. That is partly what is drawing them away from Massachusetts, where, as Patrick puts it, "whatever I did, I would be trampling on hallowed ground." But that's only the beginning of what it takes...
...witch hunt goes on, as burned investors and their designated protectors assign blame for the Internet bubble. Last week fresh testimony in Washington detailed the sordid ways some analysts conduct business, and more high-profile lawsuits surfaced--some naming bubble queen Mary Meeker at Morgan Stanley. There's enough indignation coursing from Main Street to Wall Street to K Street to keep the bar at full employment for decades...

...merely large. Sadly, some judges have not modified their ideas of beauty and still award the prizes to the bulldogs with the biggest heads. And dogs that win prizes tend to be the most valuable to breeders, so the trait is continued through future generations. So who is to blame for perpetuating the raw deal handed out to man's best friend? Many believe that Britain's Kennel Club could do more to bring about health reforms. After all, this 19th century institution, with its royal patronage, has huge influence in the world of British canine fanciers: it maintains...
