...leaner and meaner company, no doubt. Yet Wall Street still isn't convinced that Kodak can compete in the digital marketplace. Its latest camera, EasyShare-One, available this summer for $600, features the largest display screen around, a memory capable of holding 1,500 high-resolution images and, for an extra $100, wireless communication. But competition is intense, especially in photo printing, which is still where the money is. In film, Kodak had only two major competitors, Fuji Photo Film in Asia and Agfa-Gevaert in Europe. Now, both its old foes are in the printing market...
...quarter of 2004, but that was largely because of restructuring costs. Meanwhile, its revenues actually climbed 3%, to $3.8 billion, in that period--the 16% decline in Kodak's traditional film business offset by a 40% surge from its digital sales and services. Yet there remain ample reasons for doubt. For one thing, Carp has promised a pretty picture: $16 billion in revenues by 2006, up from $13.5 billion last year, with more than half of that coming from its digital endeavors. He also says the company's profit margin will drop from roughly 40% to 30%--and no further...
...could easily have been delivered by a New Democrat, with the exceptions of his empty call for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage-a congressional nonstarter, but a sop to religious conservatives-and his continued refusal to support federal funding for new stem-cell-research lines. No doubt, neither Bill Clinton nor Al Gore would have invaded Iraq unilaterally or lowered taxes on the rich, but this wasn't a speech about that. It celebrated democracy abroad and proposed a reformed bureaucracy at home. Clinton was moving, before Monica Lewinsky derailed him, toward significant changes in Social Security and Medicare...
...troops belong on U.S. soil, not stationed in 135 different countries. There is no justification for U.S. soldiers serving in other countries, unless our military is part of a U.N.-sponsored peacekeeping mission. Ted Johnson Colrain, Massachusetts, U.S. Where Was God? You omitted a profound side effect: the doubt that the tsunami [Jan. 10] has raised in the minds of millions of monotheists whose faith is based on a God who supposedly loves and cares for his creation and is responsive to prayers yet is either unwilling or unable to prevent natural disasters. Here in Britain, religious leaders eager...
...before it, uses a believer-skeptic pairing. Sister Josepha Montifiore (Natascha McElhone) belongs to an order of nuns, at odds with the Vatican, that believes the Second Coming is imminent; her reluctant partner, Dr. Richard Massey (Bill Pullman), is a secular academic. But the series leaves no room for doubt that otherworldly events are going on. In the pilot, there is a bona fide miracle (the shadow of Christ appears on a mountainside in Mexico), a Satanist cuts off his own finger without bleeding, and a baby--who may be the Antichrist or Christ reborn--impossibly survives a shipwreck...
