 Farmers’
market brings customers, vendors together
[JULY
25, 2000] Satisfied
customers and vendors who go home with empty pickup trucks are the
sign of a successful farmers’ market. That was the story on a
recent Saturday morning at Lincoln’s Latham Park, where by 11:15
customers had carried away so many bags of vegetables and baked
goods that some vendors were saying, "Sorry, I’m sold
out."

 "The
Greenspan Effect"
[JULY
25, 2000] Alan
Greenspan currently serves as chairman of the United States Federal
Reserve System. According
to authors David Sicilia and Jeffrey Cruikshank, Greenspan is the
person most responsible for “the unprecedented power and influence
it (the Federal Reserve) wields today over global financial
markets.” In their
new book “The Greenspan Effect,” Sicilia and Cruikshank
investigate Greenspan’s effect on global markets by examining key
passages from his speeches and public comments.

 After
250 years,
his music lives on
[JULY
25, 2000] Obituaries
are regular reading for many people. Accordingly, the em space has
put together an obituary to observe the 250th anniversary
of the death of a composer considered to be perhaps the greatest of
all time. Johann Sebastian Bach, 65, of Leipzig, Germany, died on
July 28, 1750. Burial was in the St. John’s churchyard. Bach had
been director of music for St. Thomas School since 1723. From 1729
to 1741 he was also director of the music society which performed
weekly at Zimmermann's, a Leipzig coffeehouse.

 Tiger is simply
“the
best that’s
ever been”
[JULY
25, 2000] All
of the sports writers today come close to saying it, but they
won’t spit it out. They’re
probably waiting to see if Tiger Woods can consistently win major
golf tournaments year after year the way Jack Nicklaus did in his
prime. The LDN is not
going to wait. Years
from now our grandchildren are going to ask us if we ever saw Tiger
Woods in his prime. Not only did we see him; he overwhelmed us.
He doesn’t just win golf tournaments, he obliterates the
field. In the movie
“The Natural,” starring Robert Redford as the old rookie Roy
Hobbs who finally makes it to the major leagues, there is a scene
where Hobbs is busted up, lying in a hospital bed.
A friend asks him what he wants from the game and his reply
is a classic one: “I
want people who are walking down the street to say, ‘Hobbs was the
best that’s ever been.’”
This week the LDN makes that claim regarding Tiger Woods!
