...Lincolns of the A.L.P. are no mere Civil War re-enactors. They approach their work with a mixture of sacerdotal adoration, historical rigor and commercial self-interest (some impersonate Lincoln for a living, and virtually all charge several hundred dollars per gig to portray him at parades, nursing homes and museums). For the best Lincolns, bringing him to life means hours of prep; those docents in Maryland may not ask you back if you can't perform a speech Lincoln gave in the state. And then there are the costuming challenges--carefully shaving your upper lip, coloring the gray from...
...unloads excess inventory of a single item each day at a steep discount. One day it could be a home theater system, the next a digital camera. The item is available until it sells out, or until 11:59 pm Central Time that night, whichever happens first. This oddball approach has generated a cult following, which keeps the community forums abuzz with product reviews and other chatter. Selection of one too limited for you? Try Overstock.com, a perennial favorite among bargain hunters that sells excess inventory at great prices. New to that site: auctions...
More substantial difficulties with the French will involve the agricultural trade issue, among others. Says an official in Paris: "We fear an attempt to put the European Community's agricultural policy on trial."

The U.A.W., which has saluted Mazda's Hofu training program as part of an "enlightened approach" to operating in the U.S., intends to organize the entire Flat Rock work force. That would create the closest partnership yet between a Japanese car company and an American union. Although Toyota's joint car-building venture with General Motors in Fremont, Calif., employs U.A.W. members, the union does...
...rough-and-tumble of the Times's third-floor newsroom. Yet his journalistic credentials are impeccable (he won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of President Nixon's trip to China in 1972). Some predict that Frankel will nudge the Times away from Rosenthal's more feature-oriented approach and back toward a more traditional hard-news emphasis. "I would expect the paper to be a little more steady on the line," says Salisbury. "It would not dart and jab as much as Abe's paper...
