...surprising that Wal-Mart offer lower prices than Toys "R" Us on consumables, one of the retail giant's core competencies. What should be more disconcerting for Toys "R" Us is that Wal-Mart often beats the toy company at its own game.

Dispirited, the ad hoc committee that was considering the issue, led by forward-thinking Professors David Armitage and Marjorie Garber, will no longer even meet.
