Managers must make sure that every employee understands the basic building blocks of how his or her business works. Here's an example. Last summer Bruce Nelson took over as CEO of Office Depot, the world's largest seller of office supplies. In analyzing the fundamentals, he quickly discovered that gross margin and inventory velocity were slipping. Not good...
...America dancing sideways to mambo and cha-cha rhythms with his own "Patricia" and "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" (a French tune by Louiguy and Jacques Larue). A slew of instrumental hits traded in wanderlust: "Lisbon Antigua" (by Raul Portela, Jose Galhardo and Amaduedo Vale, recorded by Nelson Riddle), "The Poor People of Paris" (Marguerite Monnot's "La Goualante De Pauvre Jean," covered by Les Baxter), "Never on Sunday (Manos Hadjidakis), "Petite Fleur" (composed by expatriate jazz lion Sidney Bechet and Fernand Bonifay, and a 1959 hit for Chris Barber...

His performance, at least in previews, struck this viewer as a bit tentative and mannered. But offstage, Culkin--who talks politely and openly, in between puffs from a pack of Parliaments--appears to have his feet somewhere in the vicinity of the ground...
...course Daschle and the left side of the Democratic caucus weren't dragged anywhere - they just got outvoted. In this legislative season, it's centrists and other mavericks like John Breaux, Robert Torricelli, Ben Nelson and Zell Miller - all of whom were at the White House on Wednesday when Bush did his crowing about the tax-cut compromise - who get to prune Bush's agenda items as they see fit, and who will have an endless string of opportunities to be on the winning side of every major congressional stand...
