...Riordan's biggest mistake was ignoring Bill Simon until it was too late. He thought his party would see him as the only hope of beating Davis and, thinking he already had the nomination sewn up, played up his moderate side, even scheduling a gay rights breakfast. Davis hit him from one side with ads calling him a flip-flopper. Simon hit him from the other, playing on the party faithful's doubts about what Riordan stood for. Voters listened to them both...
...elephant gun aimed squarely at those big beige bundles of Intel chips and Microsoft software. It doesn't make sense to him--or to some industry analysts--to spend so much money on other people's technology, especially now that Dell seems to have the PC direct-sales market sewn up.

In this set of three paintings, a man and a woman sniff flowers branching off of opposite ends of a stalk. Near the tips, the plant is lined with the words “passion” and “love,” while the middle contains the words...
