...Kadlec: There are two ways to look at this. The first is that this wasn't an economy-wide problem. You don't lay off 8,500 employees - 20 percent of your workforce - because of the economy alone. That's a management screwup. And that's why the rest of the tech stocks didn't go down with it - the news was so awful that it couldn't be viewed as industry-wide...
...Tuesday, some in the Administration felt they were being stonewalled.

BJORK did lay an egg on the red carpet, and we gazed upon an uncharacteristically lucid BOB DYLAN, his majestic cragginess beamed via satellite from Australia. But most of the surreal celebrity high jinks were reserved for the Vanity Fair postparty at Mortons, where a single terrorist bomb could have instantly made Drew Carey the most powerful man in show business. At the bash, TOM CRUISE clung to his publicist, and Calista Flockhart, Lucy Liu and Lara Flynn Boyle formed the world's skinniest posse...
