...listings" at home by buying a mango packer, shifting part of his meter business to it and renaming it Holley Science and Technology. For his U.S. debut, he chose a struggling, NASDAQ-listed California firm called American Champion Entertainment. Its main asset was a kids' TV show, Adventures with Kanga Roddy, about a karate-kicking marsupial. Wang paid $5 million in early 2001 for a controlling interest. Two months later, NASDAQ delisted the firm for having too low a share price, and it now trades, under a new name, as a penny stock. Wang was stunned. "We had no idea...
After failing to ride Kanga Roddy to riches, Wang paid an undisclosed sum in late 2001 to Dutch conglomerate Philips. He bought an operation that designs mobile-phone handsets and other components and has about 65 employees in Vancouver and Dallas. China's media hailed Holley as the next Haier, the Chinese appliance giant with a factory in South Carolina. But Holley is no Haier.

...YORK: It was a story larger than a Heffalump. One day Pooh and his friends Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore and Kanga (not Roo, he got lost in the Hundred Acre wood) got caught in the middle of a Very Big Controversy. Ten years ago, you see, a friend of Christopher Robin's gave the toys as a gift to the New York Public Library, which everyone agreed was a Perfectly Legal Thing. Everyone, that is, except Gwyneth Dunwoody, a British Member of Parliament, who said yesterday that it was high time Pooh came home. Oh bother, thought Mr. Giuliani, the Mayor...
...lost in an apple orchard and never heard from again. The original Pooh, Piglet, Kanga, Eeyore and Tigger eventually emigrated to America for purposes of commerce and now sit in a glass wall case in the offices of E.P. Dutton on lower Park Avenue in New York. Friends of Pooh often feel that Milne should object to this, even though they do not keep their own childhood animals around them. "But my Pooh is different, you say; he is the Pooh," writes Milne in reply. "No, this only makes him different to you, not different to me. My toys were...
