...Some banks made money, some lost. Pepsi scored, Coke disappointed. Some techs went up, some (OK, most) went down. The PC market is so bad that Dell is getting into routers. And in an example that, yes, this column was watching with particular interest, AOL Time Warner beat earnings expectations but was deemed to have done it all through cost-cutting and accounting magic, and so was beaten by traders like a mule that was not only rented but over-dependent on the moribund ad market...
...evidence against him mounted. Testimony from two friends who were asked by Einhorn to help him dispose of the trunk. The two former girlfriends who ended up in the hospital after trying to break off relationships with Einhorn. One was nearly strangled; the other had a Coke bottle smashed over her head.

Taking a stand on human rights was well and good, but no Coke? Soft drink bosses lobbied the Clinton Administration for gum arabic to be exempted. Not surprisingly, they won. Just in case there's a change in that exemption or the supply they depend on dries up, big manufacturers have built up a five-year buffer stock. "Pepsi-Cola is not a joke," says Magid Gadir, general manager of the Khartoum Gum Arabic Processing Co., one of the biggest...
