...process fish or one to make concrete blocks. But Barden had contacts at General Motors, which was eager to get back into the area (it had shut down in South Africa in response to an international campaign against apartheid). After Nujoma visited the U.S. early this year, a deal was struck. Barden will become GM's sole distributor in Namibia. GM will ship 818 cars, vans and trucks there. Barden is building a $19 million plant, expected to be running in January, to convert them from left-hand to right-hand drive, and later to do the same for other...

Rivera, 54, who has resurrected his career more times than Tony Danza, signed a major deal with the parent station that very well might re-re-re-establish him as a serious journalist. He'll be dropping the declasse Geraldo Rivera Show to concentrate on gigs like his appearances as "legal commentator" on Today and four new prime-time specials focusing on the law. Rivera, who has a law degree, says the shows will be "legal with a healthy dose of street...
