Midway through last week, the Dow 10 had returned 16.9% this year, vs. 22.9% for the Dow. The high yielders underperformed in two of the three previous years as well. Say it ain't so, Mike. But he won't. In fact, he's one of the first to note that his dogs of the Dow--so named because high yields signal out-of-favor stocks--"have become too popular and the market has become too high" for the gambit to keep working. O'Higgins is now writing another book and next month will launch a mutual fund...

Talking at one point about the need to be sensitive to the public's will, she said, "I have done my best, with Prince Philip's constant love and help, to interpret it correctly..." There it was--the word love. Yes, she had tucked it away in a parenthetical phrase, but no one could remember the Queen's ever using it in a personal context. Will...
...into one but is faithful to the local fauna: the gun-waving doyen, the man who walks an invisible dog, the voodoo priestess, the man haloed by horseflies. Eastwood has cast Williams' attorney as the trial judge and, as him(her)self, the Lady Chablis, a drag queen of note--one note--in a turn that will make no one forget Jaye Davidson...
