Les Horowitz, Sorry I didn't get back sooner. Right now I'm thinking of Treasury Strips. I never did well on roller-coasters. I haven't done a mutual fund in quite a while. Which ones would you suggest? I own a little bit of Disney and Compaq that I'm going to be stuck with for quite a while. So you can see I'm not ready to dive into any anything very risky at the moment. I've been using Schwab. What do you think of Waterhouse? Thanks, C Kahn

Gore Denounces New Non-Violent Self-Defense Technique "Environmentally irresponsible," and "a threat to the planet," is what Vice President Al Gore is calling "Foul Foo", the new self-defense rage sweeping the nation. "Foul-Foo utilizes Karate-like moves combined with controlled bursts of flatulence to intimidate and overpower an adversary," said Foul-Foo creator and 9th degree Brown Short, Chu Flung Doo. "Foul-Foo is the modern expression of the ancient art of Kut-Chee. Students of Foul-Foo learn how to attain a state of 'Flatu-readiness' through an exclusive bean diet and special sphincter muscle exercises. When confronted by a mugger or home invasion robber the student of Foul-Foo can bring the would-be felon to his knees without ever laying a finger on him." Foul-Foo has been growing in popularity in America thanks to an aggressive infomercial campaign. In the infomercial both kids and adults are seen learning the ancient art of Kut-Chee. At one point in the advertisement a group of students exclaim, "Foul-Foo is a Blast!" Foul-Foo's popularity has Vice President Al Gore worried. Said Gore, "With millions of Americans learning this disgusting technique, it is only a matter of time before they blow a hole in the ozone layer the size of Texas. When I become President one of the first things I will do is sign an executive order outlawing Foul-Foo." >>>I guess if Gore wins the presidency, we can expect Tipper >>>to launch a campaign to put warning labels on the Foo >>>Fighters albums.
