...Mart was not amused by Hood's report, but Conaway showed some bravado in the face of the onslaught: he refused to interrupt his vacation to respond to Hood's salvo. Said K Mart spokeswoman Lori McTavish: "We're confident we have enough resources and enough lines of credit to get through. We're implementing a major change in the company's operations and culture." Other analysts were surprised only by the reaction to Hood's report, which recommended that investors sell the stock. They did, driving it to a 30-year low of $3.89 before it recovered.

There are some serious people in the Northern Alliance, however, and their picture of the Taliban is more sobering. These people--intelligence officers, security officials and spies--do not think the Taliban resistance in Kabul will collapse at the first U.S. salvo.

The song was a metaphor for racial harmony in more ways than Clinton knew; for it was written and recorded, in about a half-hour...
...recent star-studded premiere was the final, pre-opening salvo of the Walt Disney Co.'s months-long campaign to sell Japan on the idea that Pearl Harbor is merely a love story and not a fateful chapter in a misguided war effort. Japanese ads for the movie insist, "the world awaits with bated breath." The world probably doesn't much care, but Disney is using its formidable marketing resources to convince Japanese moviegoers they should. After a critical drubbing and a disappointing box office in the U.S., Disney is hoping to rake in close to $100 million...
