...over. Following a series of managerial missteps, Nasser had been taking heat from the Ford board since March. Even before chairman William Clay Ford Jr. announced the creation of an executive office of the chairman in July, there had been heated discussion over how - not whether - to rein Nasser in. But the timing was sensitive. Bill Ford, the first family member to run the company since his uncle Henry retired in 1979, needed the broad support of management and, more important, Wall Street...

He is reportedly at odds with his foreign minister, Shimon Peres, over whether talks with Arafat should continue. Peres insists that Arafat remains Israel's best hope for finding a Palestinian negotiating partner and that resuming the peace process is of critical importance; Sharon believes Arafat can't be trusted and is resisting allowing any further talks. But while he carries the solid support of most...
