...pasta to hand-stretched Tuscan pizzas, with something to appeal to the frugal and the foodie. Leahy perfected the art of pulling in customers with Tesco's low-cost reputation and then selling them high-margin nonfood items like TVs and home furnishings. And he has successfully developed both mammoth one-stop stores and more modest convenience shops. The strategy has left rivals playing catch-up: Tesco boasts a 31% slice of the British grocery market, according to research firm TNS Worldpanel. Running a distant second, with 16%, is ASDA, owned by Wal-Mart...
...trip, which provided plenty of opportunities for Bush to look defensive, instead has turned into one of the more successful foreign forays of his Presidency. The lightning schedule kept him from getting sniffly or cranky, as he did on several of his early overseas trips. Mammoth demonstrations never materialized. And that piling-on question about the U.S. image abroad provoked perhaps the most ardent defense of Bush by a European leader since the attack on Iraq in March...

In another d-hall, Hungama and its accompanying South Asian music enticed a sizeable number of dancers until well past midnight! Mini-skirt-clad girls swapped...
...service, which was broadcast outside over loudspeakers and on three mammoth television screens that had been erected in Hyde and Regent's parks, lasted just over an hour. It demonstrated again the soothing, cathartic power of ritual, the way in which ceremony can provide a shared context for personal grief. There were two dramatic diversions from the normal order of things. First, Elton John sang Candle in the Wind, a song he had originally written to celebrate Marilyn Monroe, with the lyrics revised to honor his friend Diana. A number of people had questioned the propriety of a rock star...
