We were blown away by just how long this thing is. As one end of the stream clears the horizon this evening, the other will already be halfway up the sky.

You can measure the energy as a function of radius.

Anybody with a long horizon has to be in the Internet one way or the other. The one they would pick which I would reiterate is America Online ( AOL ). It is a real company, It has real earnings, it sure ain't cheap, but I think that 21 million subscribers will pay off down the road.

If it weren't for the rocks in its bed, the stream would have no song.

It's fair to say there is nothing on the horizon that looks promising at this point.

The president is always somewhere on the horizon in any midterm election, and in this one it might very well be more than the usual referendum on the president. Bush could be a heavy shadow in this election.
