...Nationally, he has found it difficult to break through the media's focus on Clinton and Obama. Edwards trails Hillary by double-digit margins, and he may not have the money to compete against their carpet-bomb television spots. "It's still possible for Edwards as well as Obama," says former Senator Bill Bradley, who in 2000 ran an insurgent primary campaign against an entrenched front-runner named Al Gore. "Edwards is the best political athlete in the field-giving a speech, working a room, interacting one-on-one. He has the most detailed domestic policy, and his message [that...
That plan has paid off. In 2006 FORTUNE ranked Viking second in terms of brand strength and identification, behind iPod. As a privately held company, Viking is tight-lipped about hard numbers but claims double-digit growth for the past 15 years. Published reports put annual sales at more than $300 million, a figure the company does not dispute. It's a neat trick to create a global brand from Greenwood, Miss., where the company does all its manufacturing...
...Rising mainland prices should come as no surprise. For years, economists have wrung their hands over the prospect that China's economy might finally overheat.

What's astonishing about this particular real estate bust, though, is the way the damage has pinballed across the financial universe: mortgage companies in Los Angeles, banks in Seattle, hedge funds in Australia, the European Central Bank, Wall Street investment houses and Main Street stockholders have all had the American real estate market fall...
...much of this optimism rests on unknowns, such as whether China's economy can keep up its annual double-digit growth rate. David Simon, president of Simon Property, the U.S.'s largest public real estate company, may have summed up the market best during a meeting with analysts in February: "China is lots of ups and downs," Simon said. His company has four malls under construction on the mainland and has plans to build another eight. But after that, Simon said he foresees "no further activity in China until we get some more experience under our belt...
