...Keenan and the six auto-body shops he owns in suburban Philadelphia may look unassuming, but they are, in fact, battlegrounds in the latest incarnation of the rental-car wars--a fight to grab neighborhood business from market leader Enterprise Rent-A-Car. For years, Keenan was a loyal promoter of Enterprise rentals to customers who needed a replacement car. Then he got a call from Hertz, which was looking to branch away from Philadelphia's airport and downtown and into the local market. After thorough negotiating, including a driving tour to show a Hertz executive the locations...
...Government at first did not think of spending millions to bring to London distinctive regiments of George V's loyal troops from all quarters of the Empire, as was done for Queen Victoria's fabulous Diamond Jubilee in 1897.

...credit to HBO's The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (Dec. 5, 9 p.m. E.T.) and its star, Geoffrey Rush (Shine), that this TV biopic sometimes makes you want to know.

Upstairs in his sixth-floor office, Isfahan representative Hassan Kamran was wearing a white Basiji scarf around his neck in solidarity with the diehards, who are seen by many Iranians as free-ranging thugs. He was ranting against the U.S., warning that if President George W. Bush dares...
...month's bombings. The Socialist government in Madrid has rejected Otegi's notion that negotiations can begin without a renunciation of violence from ETA. Yet Basques who condemn ETA don't believe these bombings were meant to scupper talks. Rather, they were a way of keeping the radical base loyal while inching toward negotiations. "I'm convinced that ETA and Batasuna are in agreement over the proposal made [by Otegi]," says Alberto Surio, a political commentator at El Diario Vasco, a San Sebastián-based daily. "But it's a process that's going to take longer than...
