...getting through. Coming from Afghanistan is a dusty procession of trucks carrying Korean refrigerators, Japanese auto parts, Apple computers, toys, everything. Even golf clubs going God knows where. There are a lot of sand traps out here, but no fairways, that's for sure. I was witnessing the ebb and flow of global contraband, and nobody is better than smuggling than the Afghans. Their ravening entrepreneurial instincts are honed by centuries...
...famous Hollywood stars, Jackson’s cutting-edge videos were no longer the events they had once been. Although Dangerous bought forth several No. 1 singles, the album failed to perform as well as its predecessors, leading many critics to predict that his career was on the ebb.

Among them: some telecom (Verizon), some energy (Williams, PG&E, Aon, Royal Dutch Petroleum), some grub (Tyson, Wendy?s, Del Monte Foods), some health care (Humana, Cardinal Health) and some tech (Scient, Applied Microsystems, Priceline.com). Thursday, the 23rd San Francisco Money Show opens by the Bay, and Logitech International - remember when everybody was doing this? - splits its stock...
