| Jeremy Siegel on Bear Stearns, the Rate Cuts and Inflation |
 |
The ongoing credit crisis in U.S. financial
markets has claimed a huge and high-profile
victim: Bear Stearns. After being slammed by
what amounted to a run on the bank during the
week of March 10, the Wall Street firm agreed
to be acquired -- for $2 a share -- by JP
Morgan Chase over the weekend in a deal
overseen by Federal Reserve chairman Ben
Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry
Paulson. The Federal Reserve lowered interest
rates the same day -- and did so again on
March 18, by three-quarters of a percentage
point. Are other Wall Street firms likely to
follow Bear Stearns into oblivion? Will the
Federal Reserve's efforts help to boost
confidence in the financial system? Finance
professor Jeremy Siegel, author of The Future
for Investors, discussed these questions and
more with Knowledge@Wharton.

All Will Be Revealed, A Novel:
A photographer is drawn to a beautiful
psychic in a turn-of-the-century novel about
love, possession, adventure, and greed. At
the close of the nineteenth century,
wheelchair-bound Augustus Auerbach s only
interest is his extraordinarily lucrative
business: the manufacture and marketing of
exotic photographs. His outlook is forever
altered, however, when one of his models
pressures him to attend a seance. It is there
that Augustus meets the medium Verena Swann,
a beautiful widow who gives voice to the
long-dead spirit of his mother. At the time
of her first encounter with Augustus, Verena
is close to nervous collapse; her spiritual
powers have begun to fail her, and now,
forced to fake her public trances, she
wonders if her ability to converse with the
spirits was ever more than self-delusion.
Though initially reluctant, Augustus embarks
on a series of private sittings with Verena,
finding himself increasingly drawn to her as
much for personal reasons as for the proof of
immortality she offers him.

| Where Are You Now? - Dan Siegel |
 |
First of all, I want to give a million and
one 'thank you's to YouTube user
'burgundyyears' for sending me this mp3. I
can't thank you enough!
This is the song, Where Are You Now?, by Dan
Siegel, and co-written by Patrick O'Hearn.
It's from the 1984 album 'Another Time,
Another Place', and is extremely rare.
This song was also heard on The Weather
Channel, from, I believe, 1990 to 1991.
