...have the shivers come back. When a goal by Melanie Allen '96 with four seconds left shocked the No. 7 Northeastern field hockey team. When the Harvard men's soccer team erupted with two overtime goals against Brown to take the 1994 Ivy Title. When Tim Hill '99 sank a last-second basket to send the Harvard-Penn game into overtime, where the Crimson would avenge its 1994 defeat...
...pair of water skis on Lake Pipen in Minnesota. In 1985 a surfer aptly named Tony Finn developed a hybrid between a water ski and a surfboard called the Skurfer. But that skiboard was so narrow and buoyant that only the most experienced skiers could work it. Before skiboarding sank like a stone, water-ski manufacturer Herb O'Brien came up with the Hyperlite, a carbon-graphite board of neutral buoyancy with large dimples on the bottom (phasers, to those in the know) that gave it a looser feel and made for softer landings from wake jumps. Skiboarders became wakeboarders...
...Newseum--an interactive museum dedicated to the history of journalism and (evidently) the propagation of stupid puns--just opened in Arlington, Va., across the Potomac from Washington. There was a lot of fanfare, as there always is when journalists gather to celebrate themselves. The Freedom Forum sank $50 million into the Newseum, and it shows. You can't turn around without bumping into some shiny chunk of high-tech hardware: touch-screen computers, Cinerama-style theaters and a video wall so large--126 ft. long, 10 1/2 ft. high--that it could theoretically accommodate 300 couch potatoes at the same...
...brakes on hearing that the economy grew an astounding 5.6% in the first quarter--too fast for comfort. But a closer look at the numbers showed inflation remained dormant. Don't put away the Dramamine just yet. The markets were jolted again on Friday after the jobless rate sank to a near 24-year low of 4.9%. Very inflationary. Later in the day, however, Washington's announcement of a budget deal sent the index soaring...
...they seemed to have a policy of infinite expansion into competitors' territories, now they view wholesale expansion as too dangerous. The last carrier to seriously invade another's main hub was a Continental operation called Continental Lite, which attempted to win market share in major Eastern markets. Continental Lite sank in 1995, losing $300 million. Since then the hub-and-spoke carriers have retreated to their fortresses while beefing up their commuter-feeder operations. Northwest dropped Washington's National Airport to concentrate on Detroit and Minneapolis, where it had 78% and 84% of the market respectively by late last year...
