...simplicity at a bargain price, there are plenty of choices. The water-resistant Unwired FRS-14 ($99 a pair) has high-end features like voice activation and a full range of channels and subchannels, but it looks and feels cheap. The tiny Audiovox FR-560FM ($120 a pair) comes with an FM radio, earphones and fold-down antenna, but we found its reception to be among the worst of the bunch. The colorful Radio Shack Two-Way Personal Radios are currently on sale at $50 a pair but have only two channels and are best for backyard fun or neighborhood...
...name may be the key. Dropping the Firestone name altogether would be the most drastic measure, but many observers think it is the only viable way to keep the company's beachhead in the U.S. Bridgestone has an established, albeit smaller, place in the North American market as a high-end, premium tire brand, and most consumers don't seem to think of it as falling from the same rubber tree.

Today Tysons is the 14th largest business district in the U.S. It consists of two strip malls and two mega-malls near one another, with 80,000 people working in the vicinity and dozens of high-end outfitters--like the local Tiffany & Co., which outsells the company's flagship store on Manhattan's Fifth...

Last Friday, despite a vicious market sell-off, Corvis, an optical-equipment maker, launched its IPO at $36; it closed at $85. Corvis has no revenue and three corporate customers. High-end router-and-switcher company Avici launched...
They keep their promises, these Bec-Fin people. Precisely 15 minutes later, we were seated in the salmon-and-gilt main dining room. The place was packed with men in high-end suits and women in cashmere sweater sets, and I experienced a moment of panic, wishing I'd had a chance to pick up my pearls before I'd set out. Not to worry; the staff were warm and welcoming, even to the underdressed, and the fat cats were meowing and purring too much to notice...
