...more than 20 countries, including Germany, South Korea and Thailand. In the U.S., some two dozen Olympic sports use Dartfish. The technology helped athletes worldwide win 45 medals in the 2002 Winter Games, according to Victor Bergonzoli, general manager of the company's U.S. unit. "Once we used to repeat and explain the same thing over and over again," says Yeom Dong Chul, coach of South Korea's weight-lifting team, which has been using Dartfish in the run-up to the Olympics. "Now there is no need for us to talk so much, since it's all viewable...
...false impression of progress, whether they've got a plan or not," said a senior Administration official involved in the war on terrorism. "They're desperate to announce something so they can't be accused of not doing something."

...slaughter of Cambodians in the '70s and the wanton butchery in Rwanda in 1994? What does it take for the world to act? The U.N. is ineffectual, the European Union is asleep and Arab nations live in denial. If we Americans continue to allow genocide to repeat decade after decade, how long will it be before that crime arrives on our own shores? MICHAEL BUSSIO Scotts Valley, Calif...
...sold cheap TVs under the brand Goldstar, after the company's former name, Lucky-Goldstar. In 1995, LG purchased American TV maker Zenith Electronics Corp. and began using that moniker on its products. But four years later, Zenith filed for bankruptcy, a victim of cutthroat competition. To avoid a repeat of that failure, LG was content until recently to supply other companies with appliances that they sell in the U.S. under their own brands. These days, however, a monumental transition is taking place in U.S. and European living rooms, and LG smells opportunity. Consumers are tossing aside boxy...
