...giant, with sales of roughly $1.3 billion, or nearly a fifth of Rockwell's total 1998 volume of $6.8 billion. But Rockwell CEO Don Davis insists that the move was necessary to allow Rockwell to concentrate more on its core businesses, principally factory automation and aviation controls. (A possible result of divided attention: Rockwell in 1998 overestimated demand for new high-speed computer modems and got caught with what turned out to be outdated products.) Why this particular target for surgery? The semiconductor business is more volatile than Rockwell's other lines, says Davis; its investment needs are different...
...subtracting job losses due to corporate downsizing. And two-thirds of these jobs pay more than the median wage for all U.S. jobs. By no coincidence, average U.S. real income has also risen in the past two years, after a long period during which wages rose less than prices.

Later he'd walked into a convenience store with blood on his face, hands and clothes--the result, he said, of a fight at another bar. There were no witnesses to the killing. But circumstantial evidence--including tire tracks consistent with those from O'Dell's car and tests of the blood on his clothing--seemed to link him to the crime...
