...Give fuller descriptions of the merchandise. Click on a title and you get a picture of the DVD box and a 60- to 80-word summary of the plot, with the stars, the genre and often the director listed. That's sufficient for big, recent works, but of little help for older movies. On some multifilm packs, the titles aren't mentioned. Other oldies may have several editions, of varying visual quality and with great extras or none. Netflix usually carries only one edition. To find out which one, you must go to a site like Amazon.com, find the item...
Take, for example, Nokia's new 2730 model, which will be available later this year for just over $110. The 3G device might not have a touchscreen or a swish keyboard, but with access to Ovi Mail, Nokia's free e-mail service, it's designed to give thousands of consumers in emerging markets their "first Internet experience," says Credit Suisse's Garcha.

They argue that until Mugabe and his supporters give back farms that were appropriated from whites - something no Zimbabwean leader endorses as either practical or just - there is no hope for economic recovery. When that argument is put directly to Mugabe at an investors' conference, the President, 85, answers with a fluent 14-minute history lesson on how Zimbabwe won its independence. The point of this polemic? The responsibility for any problems with land reform, concludes Mugabe, "is a British...
...democratically elected general - the first to be at her side as Marcos threatened to mow down her supporters in the streets. She anointed him despite the opposition of her church. Indeed, Fidel Ramos would be the first Protestant to lead the overwhelmingly Catholic country. And he would give the islands a taste of stability and economic prosperity that she was unable to deliver. But without her withstanding the enemies of freedom, he would never have had the chance...
