Because Texans buy more pickups per capita than anyone else, Toyota is banking on a core group of buyers in its backyard. The company has started the courting, launching a limited-edition Tundra co-branded with cowboy-boot maker Lucchese and slapping the Toyota name on the Houston Rockets basketball arena. Traditionally, Toyota has done best in cities and on the coasts, selling Corollas and Camrys to baby boomers and Lexuses to well-off urbanites. On the West Coast, Toyota's share is 16%, double its share in the Midwest and the South. Yet Toyota can no longer count...

Yet this flood of hot--and often naive--foreign money into Indian stocks has me spooked. The Indian market has often proved a terrific place to lose money. If you had bet on the Sensex in, say, 1992, you would have been 30% poorer...
...elected, Garcia will inherit daunting domestic challenges. Many of Peru's 19.2 million people live in appalling poverty, with an average per capita annual income of only $867. In the Andes, the army is at war with Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path), a guerrilla group that advocates a Maoist-style revolution. Be cause of fears of terrorism, 105,000 army troops and police were placed on alert on election day. A dynamite blast, blamed by police on guerrillas in the central Andes city of Huancayo, killed two children and wounded four other people. But a call by Sendero Luminoso to boycott...
