This time we'll be going back to L'Allegria, a fine Italian restaurant a few blocks from Times Square, at the corner of 44th St & 9th Avenue, at http://www.lallegriar... . You can get a vegetarian pasta dish for $13, or meat pasta for $15. They also have a Prix Fixe dinner for $26.95.

After the dot com bust, enrollments in Computer Science education dropped dramatically. Now, with Wall Street suffering we're seeing student finance majors abandoning their field in search of greener pastures in other callings. http://tinyurl.com/48...

A cheap new pill made of generic substances is being tested in Great Britain, that could substantially lengthen life expectancy. Cost of pills: $1 / month. What's interesting is that drug companies have not been pushing forward with trials on it, since trials are extremely expensive and the money to be made by marketing these pills is insignificant. http://tinyurl.com/3g...

Interesting video clip from 2 years ago, where an economist was predicting the current financial situation: http://www.youtube.co...

    I am interested in the topics for 10/18, especially the cheap heart pill. Unfortunately, I've had to change my RSVP & I apologize. Can't wait for the next event! Thank you, Bill.
