Anyway, if it doesn't have the book you are looking for, Revolution will probably have six or seven related ones that you somehow end up buying. The stock is large, but unreliable. While Revolution has a wide variety of books, if you see something you want there on Monday, buy it--it may well not be in stock by Wednesday...
Among wealthy Brazilians, such pastimes as sunbathing and the samba have been joined lately by stock-market speculation. Since May 1987 the bourse in Rio de Janeiro has jumped almost 400%. Lebanese immigrant Naji Robert Nahas, who alone accounted for nearly half of the market's trades in recent weeks, brought Brazil's bulls to a halt last week after several brokerage houses discovered that $31 million of his checks had bounced on them. To avoid a bearish stampede, the Rio and Sao Paulo markets were forced to close last Monday. When trading resumed the next day, the benchmark I.B.V...
Ross was speaking of Time Inc. and Warner, whose planned merger has come to resemble a three-dimensional chess game, with the winner destined to become king of the global media board.

The deal will cost Time the kind of debt it and Warner had hoped to avoid -- somewhere between $7 billion and $14 billion. Unlike the original Time-Warner arrangement...
Time took other steps as well. The company swapped some 7 million of its shares for 17.3 million Warner shares, or about 10% in each company. The exchange could have the effect of frustrating Paramount by placing a large block of Time stock in friendly hands, and it gives Time a head start in its acquisition of Warner shares. Time also asked a federal court in New York City to halt the Paramount bid on the grounds that it reflected a "campaign of deception and manipulation" to derail the Time-Warner merger. The suit alleged that Paramount feared the competitive...
