...issue now is how well Turkey handles the aftermath. Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said Ocalan would quickly face trial. "It need not last too long [because] the crimes of the P.K.K.'s leadership are well known," suggested Ecevit. Discomfiting words for a world already wary of Turkish justice and for Kurds violently alienated by Ankara's policies. Turkey should celebrate while...
...face of it, Nissan is simply too burdened to be much more than a headache to anyone. Analysts estimate that its debt nearly doubles when the financial obligations of its many affiliates are thrown in. "We don't want to spend our hard-earned money buying someone else's hard-earned debt," said Ford co-chairman Jacques Nasser not long before he bought Volvo last month.

British papers have reported that Jagger, 55, has offered Morad, 29, a tidy sum to refuse interviews. But apparently he never said anything about semiclad public appearances. Hey, when you hail...
...ongoing ecology debate is only one of the challenges that the actor is having to face as he undertakes to carry his first movie alone as a major star. On one particular day in early February, for example, some of the friends who regularly travel with DiCaprio are missing in the park, and one of the star's brawny bodyguards frantically screams out their names while searching for them; they're eventually found unharmed. During another crazed moment, about a dozen save-the-forest protesters attempt to rush onto the set but are held back by armed officials. Meanwhile, studio...
