...m.p.h. Peak speed of the new 310-ft. roller coaster in Sandusky, Ohio, the tallest and fastest in America...
...panic starting in distant money centers can cause you, through no fault of your own, to lose your job, as happened to millions of people during the Asian financial crisis of 1997. Modern capitalists can move their money in and out of different countries around the world at the speed of a mouse click. Democratic countries find that their options for political choice--whether in the realm of social policy, economic regulation or culture--are curtailed by the increased mobility of financial capital and information. Do you want to extend your social safety net a bit further? The faceless bond...
...thousands of suppliers into a single, Internet-based network. This entity will encompass $250 billion annually of suppliers' products (and perhaps an additional $500 billion of those suppliers' suppliers' products).

...Nothing's real until it's perceived," Dorff says. And no Internet movie can be applauded until it's downloaded. At a hefty 166 megabytes, Quantum Project can be smoothly swallowed only by the relatively few PCs with super high-speed broadband connections. The majority of Websters, with 56K dial-up modems, could take all night to access the movie--if their computers didn't crash first. And this one, alas, isn't worth the wait...
