...Green Warriors Our Milestone on the death of Bob Hunter, co-founder of Greenpeace [May 16], noted that he coined the term Rainbow Warriors to describe the group's more militant members. In an Aug. 1, 1983, story, we reported on a foray they staged...

While selling CDs will boost revenues--in April, same-store sales were up a healthy 9% over a year earlier--some analysts warn that the media bars may be a distraction. In the 1990s, Starbucks jumped into the magazine business and dotcom investments with disappointing results...

A foray into R&B covers with a band called The Honeydrippers brought him some commercial success, but little creative joy. In the mid-'90s, he reunited with Page. The duo's live shows frequently revisited Zeppelin's Valhalla heights, but their formulaic studio album, 1998's Walking Into Clarksdale, lumbered along...
