...company's CEO has defended that point of view, it is hard to imagine why the board has supported the strategy. The former head of JPMorgan sits on the GE board along with the former CEOs of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and P&G (PG). It would be interesting to ask them how they would have fared at their companies with shares down...
...Hass. Based on all public information, it has no right to do so. When did that Dow board know that the Kuwait deal was in trouble? Did it decide to rely on the money which was coming from the Middle East company to complete the Rohm deal? Did anyone ask how the M&A transaction would be financed absent the Kuwait joint venture? Rohm has now fairly taken Dow to court and insisted that the deal be completed. It has pointed out that Dow has access to the capital necessary to close. That capital may be expensive, but the legal...

"People are not coming to a spa and saying, 'Does your detox program really work?'" says Susie Ellis, founder of SpaFinder...
There are three questions the conferees should ask about every provision in the package: Will it stimulate the economy quickly? Will it create long-term fiscal obligations? Also, is it something we ought to do anyway? We need to zap the economy with a big jolt of federal dollars, and it's important that those dollars be spent in timely and temporary ways. But it's just as important that they be spent in ways that promote national priorities rather than undermine them.

And he unsettlingly conveys the actives' experience of living a constantly interrupted dream. ("Did I fall asleep?" they ask after each treatment.) But Dushku, memorable as the bad-girl Faith in Buffy, isn't much of a chameleon. She's passably callow as Caroline and nicely eerie as the doll-like "blank" Echo, but she doesn't transform with each personality, à la Toni Collette in United States...
