...hero replies by opening his essay with, “David Hume, the great Scottish philosopher, brought empiricism to its logical extreme. If these be the spirit of the age in which he lived, then he was representative of it.” This generality expert has already taken his position for the essay. Actually he has not the vaguest idea of what Hume really said, or in fact what he said it in, or in fact if he ever said anything at all. But by never bothering to define empiricism, he may write indefinitely on the issue, virtually without...

Scientists "have captured the sport," Chappell says. Though he acknowledges their theorizing has its benefits, he believes it's being misused.

The companies whose stock is bouncing back the fastest are usually those whose new leaders have acted most quickly to tackle their core problems. In Britain, Cable & Wireless stock is up 50% since Italian turnaround expert Francesco Caio took over a year ago. He swiftly shed unprofitable operations his predecessor had bought in the U.S., including a big Internet hosting business, but had been reluctant to sell when they didn't pan out. At ailing insurer Royal & Sun Alliance, Andy Haste, 41, the CEO who took over last year, wasted little...
