...Bush Administration moved swiftly to avert any sense of crisis after the market closed. Declared Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady: "It's important to recognize that today's stock market decline doesn't signal any fundamental change in the condition of the economy.

But Massachusetts Democrat Edward Markey, who chairs a House subcommittee on telecommunications and finance, vowed to hold hearings this week on the stock market slide. Said he: "This is the second heart attack. My hope is that before we have the inevitable third heart attack...
Same old story. A unique gift, a fresh voice, a knack for psychic immolation. When Rickie Lee Jones broke onto the scene with her surprising and successful 1979 debut album, she seemed to signal a fresh trail for rock. But uncertainty and self-destruction crowded close.

The junior signal-caller has also thrown eight interceptions. The Cornell offense is geared around the ground attack of fullback John McNiff (58 rushes, 254 yards), halfback Rob Buccini (30--109) and Cochrane (18--71). The Crimson defense has had trouble stopping the rush this season, allowing an incredible 240 yards per game on the ground at a clip of 4.7 yards per carry...
