...shareholders have suffered more than those of Green Tree, which was founded in 1975 in St. Paul, Minn., and has long been an industry leader. Hapless Green Tree investors have seen their stock sink from $50 a share last October to just $19 before it rebounded a bit to close at $24 last week. Coss, 59, a former used-car salesman who sports jeans and cowboy boots off the job, has seen the value of his own shares fall from $330 million to $145 million.

This suggests that sometime before 1918, a bird virus could have entered the mammalian population and, through reassortment, produced the pathogenic flu virus known...
...Northern Mariana Islands has had its share of developmental problems with the garment industry. But we have worked to resolve them and enable the much maligned industry to enjoy relative stability over the past several years. For the U.S. Interior Department to threaten a federal takeover of immigration and labor controls because the N.M.I. does not necessarily agree with its warped findings is no reason to believe federalization will be a magic cure for developmental problems. Our people are guaranteed the right to self-government, including the right to "progressive economic self-sufficiency." The U.S. aims to force a Puerto...
