...fluid corporate career marked by big leaps to disparate industries, Sue Parks' most fulfilling step sprang from a slower-paced hobby. Parks left her native Midwest to work in Southern California, rising swiftly to become a respected executive in the paper industry. In 1994, during the height of the telecom frenzy, she jumped to US West's Denver headquarters to run a $2.6 billion division. In 2000 computer maker Gateway lured her away to a similar position out of San Diego. And in 2002 Dallas-based Kinko's crowned her head of operations, the office-services company...

...skills, although so far in South Lebanon, those attributes have not been tested. The 15th Punjab reports that it hasn't had a single encounter with armed Hizballah elements, despite constant patrols in the 12-village area for which it is responsible. Does this mean Hizballah has given up southern Lebanon? Probably not. The group itself admitted that it has rearmed since Israel destroyed much of its weapon stockpile last summer. Meanwhile, the Israeli press is full of talk about finishing the job. As one of the Indian officers says after a tasty lunch of basmati rice, papadoms and mango...
