Thank you for shining a light on the growing influence of the Latino-Hispanic community in the U.S. [Aug. 22]. Hispanic businesses are a vital part of the economic revitalization of many towns.

With its move to acquire Reebok, Adidas hopes to show that the athletic shoe is on the other foot. - By Peter Gumbel Oiling Russia's Markets Foreign and Russian traders experienced a bout of seemingly rational exuberance last week, as the long-stagnant Russian stock market started climbing steadily.

More foreign investment could raise Telstra's share price. That, and other regulations, should be decided by Parliament in August...
Montazeri's appointment caused some unease in Tehran's ruling circles, where there are sharp divisions on how to manage the country's stagnant economy. Montazeri is the youngest of Iran's handful of Grand Ayatullahs and has an undistinguished reputation as a religious scholar. Considered more of a pragmatist than Khomeini, Montazeri is also said to lack his mentor's charisma and oratorical skills. The timing of the announcement did not appear to coincide with any worsening of Khomeini's health.
