...stocks headed back to the lows of mid-November, when the Dow sank to 7552? A further decline of 5% or so from Thursday's lows would put the market back near the November bottom. For stock-market technicians, a so-called double bottom, or return to prior lows, can be a healthy sign of base-building, which can set the stage for a sustained advance.

It didn't take long after hostilities died down for the more intrepid to return to Liberia's beaches (indeed, some gnarly old U.N. hands will tell you they never left). So while the whole country can count just a handful of decent hotels, the lead surf spot at Robertsport on Liberia's western tip now boasts two full-fledged surfer resorts, the Silversand Surfer...
