41372 AMZN madness -- rank: 1000
How about that stock market, eh? Amazon is up 47 3/4 points to 290 1/2 as I type. Yahoo has a hilarious 5-day chart at <http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=AMZN&d=5d>. Today's ostensible reason: an analyst at CIBC Oppenheimer figures the stock will hit $400, based on his profit projections for 2004! And by his account, the stock is cheap today, trading at only 28 times 2004 earnings!!! Based on current prices, Amazon's stock is worth $15.2 billion, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' personal stake ...

41380 Hoover on HK movies -- rank: 1000
The new Verso catalog - not yet up at their website - is just off press. Prominently announced on p. 5 is City On Fire: Hong Kong Cinema, by listero Michael Hoover and Lisa Stokes. The text won't scan because of a prominent graphic behind it, but here's what Andrew Ross says: "A tour-de-force analysis of Hong Kong's film genres, which profiles a city with no time to recover, from its own high-speed car chase through late capitalist development." So tell us about the book, Michael. Doug
