Mike, I see you're swimming over on the MITA thread. I thought you didn't believe in that squiggly line stuff<g>. Caught the Penn hoop coach on the cable last night. Semi-interesting guy. In addition to coaching, he also teaches a class in "The Dynamics of Small Groups" at Wharton. Class has a bent toward the management of small enterprises. He's been there 14 years now; was a former assistant to Speedy Morris at LaSalle. Just from listening to him, he sounds like a keeper. Unlike "Doctor" Hughes, the football coach at P'town. That man is toast if he doesn't win soon. They're quiet about it, but Princeton alums don't like losing in football or hoops. They probably keep football (an otherwise $$$ losing prop) out of the University till with $$$ from Tiger boosters. They were pretty quick with the axe on the last coach, who only won 2 titles in 11 years. My Columbia roomie called me again today. Still sick about the 44-14 drubbing we took, so we're taking in Yale-P'town, sitting on the Eli side, and getting loud. Boola, boola.

KT; Thursday, Nov. 1, 2001, 4:20 PM Moscow Time Russia will not return to the market of platinum metals until the middle of 2002, Valery Rudakov, head of the Gokhran state depository of precious metals announced at the fourth international conference devoted to the situation on the market of precious metals and stones and its outlooks. He explained that exports of platinum metals have been suspended due to the situation on the world platinum market. This decision has been coordinated with Norilsk Nickel, one of the largest producers of platinum. I don't trade platinum but thought you might find it interesting. Jim
