...than six times what he made in his first week online and a solid showing during a time of year when business is traditionally slow. Customers from as far away as Alaska are using the Web to purchase the same 78 products the store sells in Portland, including jumbo gulf shrimp, live Maine lobsters and even Alaskan king-crab legs. Just as importantly, from Hanson's point of view, taking orders over the Internet has freed up some of his 30 employees to help customers at the store's counter.

If the Army Secretary knows that grunts on the ground are needed to force the Serbs to stop killing Kosovars...
DIED. ROY JOHNSON, 93, U.S. Navy admiral who oversaw what the government said was retaliatory U.S. attacks against North Vietnamese gunboats in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964, an episode that escalated American involvement in Vietnam; in Virginia Beach, Va.
