title: How are you investing your time?
abstract: Reflections at the beginning of this year stand worlds apart from those of a year ago. In the past 12 months we've seen a rapid decline in global stability, terrorist acts on American soil unparalleled in magnitude or horror, an economic recession, and the virtual dissolution of Internet start-up companies. As we bid adieu to 2001, prospects of improvement are, thankfully, brighter.
