People looked at the searing photograph of a U.S. federal agent taking a young boy at gun point and asked, "How did it get to this?" Briefly, here's how: in late 1999, a small boat sank while making its perilous way from Cuba to Florida. Six-year-old Elian Gonzalez's mother and 10 other refugees drowned.

...Economy showed up, 2.2 percent growth wasn't shabby at all; now it's dire news. The Tech Decade didn't just produce Greenspan's "irrational exuberance," it produced his "wealth effect," in which fat portfolios make for long shopping lists.

After Ben got dumped by Gwyneth, he tried to get back with her for a while and then gave up-since it finally sank in, he's been dating beneath him. Is that a general course of life? How long after breaking up with the love of your life does it take before you end the random rebound flings and actually start looking for somebody worthy...
