...stick to their game plan. If potential buyers or partners come knocking after that, ceo Howe says, "who knows how it might turn out?" Executives also say critics have failed to recognize that MG Rover is a far different company from the one that seemed destined for the trash heap 14 months ago. Under BMW, Rover Group also included two other loss-making brands: the Mini, which BMW kept, and Land Rover, which was sold to Ford.

Remember how hard you prayed in March? Please, God, give me just one little rally in tech stocks. I'll sell what I have left, I swear, and never again commit the sins of underdiversification and speculation. Well, you can throw that pledge on the scrap heap of desperate promises never kept.

...this weirdo find himself at the top of the political heap? The usual way the L.D.P. picks Japan's leaders is for a handful of party bosses to meet behind closed doors, pour a few glasses of sake and anoint someone. This time, a clique of young L.D.P. lawmakers demanded more transparency in choosing a successor to Yoshiro Mori. The Old Guard went along, thinking it could manipulate a vote as usual while presenting a facade of democracy. But the aging party chieftains badly miscalculated just how unloved they are.
