...course, Walmart won't get pounded on price for long. "The time has finally arrived!" Weinswig wrote in a research note. "WMT [Walmart's stock symbol] is lacing up the gloves in the fight to win the modern day price war in food retail in 2010." Weinswig found that a 2-liter bottle of Coca-Cola, which recently cost the consumer $1.58 at a New York City-area Walmart, was now selling at the same store for 98 cents. "You're not going to ignore that," says Weinswig. "That's 'wow' pricing, and you'll think twice about going somewhere...

Come again? From where I sit, smart, sensitive, utterly contemporary New York comedies are virtually all we get these days: plays populated by the same modern, upper-middle-class urban sophisticates who, for the most part, are sitting in the audience.

...mathematical chaos that's fallen on Haiti's political system like a shower of earthquake debris. Elections for President, Senators, deputies and myriad regional posts were all supposed to take place this year. But as the government crawls out from one of the worst natural disasters of modern times, the challenge of holding those contests looks daunting at best, especially since Haiti is the western hemisphere's poorest country.

Just how divisive it can be was on vivid display last week. There was an uproar over Bing's emerging plan to relocate residents - the weekly Michigan Citizen likened it to a "modern day 'Trail of Tears' for Detroiters" - and an equally unfavorable response to Bobb's $81,000 raise in the second year of his contract, most of which is paid for by foundation money. The school board is so incensed that it has filed a lawsuit...
