...point in the economic cycle that tends to favor the biggest of the big. Short-term interest rates are up, which is especially hard on small companies that do not enjoy the same access to cheap borrowing as large ones. As higher rates slow the economy, earnings at small firms should decelerate quickest. And as earnings slow, the dividends that blue chips pay will become increasingly attractive...

...around $1.30. At its nadir, the market valued the whole of EMI at less than the value of its publishing division alone. "The mood was tense and increasingly dark," says Rose. "We were fearful of losing control of the company. It could have been snapped up on the cheap." A 2000 merger attempt with Warner Music was rejected by the E.U. as anticompetitive. But twice during the later lean years, the companies discussed a tie-up. (And now that their balance sheets are improving, merger speculation is rife again, though Levy says the two companies aren't in talks.) Levy...

The new government's five priorities remain domestic ones: cleaning up official corruption, shortening medical wait times, cutting the gst, helping families afford child care and toughening crime laws. The Tories promised a made-in-Canada foreign policy in 2004 that was unclear beyond calling for higher defense spending, and they were similarly vague in 2006. There are no grand Harper world visions...

...DIED. FREDDIE LAKER, 83, ebullient airline industry underdog and visionary who in the 1970s pioneered the concept of cheap fares for the masses with his short-lived but much admired Skytrain service; in Hollywood, Florida. Launched in 1978, the London-based service encouraged flyers to cross the Atlantic casually, without even booking a flight.
