...tellers may eventually come through one-to-one marketing. While only about 500 machines worldwide are testing this technology, the Boston consulting firm Celent Communications predicts that the number will jump to 80,000 by 2005. Soon, as customers pay down their car loans, for example, their ATMs will suggest timely preapproved loans for a spiffy new vehicle. Or if a user doesn't have enough funds to cover a withdrawal, he could be offered overdraft protection or a loan-which is better than being told, "I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that...
...which both sides managed to sidestep American demands. First Arafat simply ignored the conditions set for a meeting with Dick Cheney, and then Sharon simply ignored Washington's wishes on Arafat's travel plans. Zinni's mission, of course, had always been a long shot. There was nothing to suggest conditions for a truce were more conducive than they'd been during his aborted mission last December - indeed, it was the further deterioration of the situation, rather than its improvement, that forced the Bush administration to send him back.

...crimes. It turns out that some form of jungle justice may have been meted out to Brother Number One after all.

There will be much to test the Bush-Blair bond in coming months. If it comes to war, Saddam could be deposed quickly as optimists suggest; or he could rain wmds on Israel or stash his tanks in the cities, daring Bush to bomb civilians. Meanwhile, a struggle looms over the role of the U.N. For many countries, another U.N. resolution will be needed for them to back an attack on Iraq. German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder says he "can't imagine" helping otherwise. If only to build public awareness of Saddam's recalcitrance, Blair backs a campaign...
...this attention has prompted Eric Kim, 47, Samsung's savvy Korean-American marketing chief, to boldly suggest that he hopes to surpass Sony in brand recognition by 2005. Don't laugh; Sony CEO Nobuyuki Idei certainly isn't laughing. Samsung has the second most recognizable consumer-electronics brand in the world, according to Interbrand, the New York City?based consultancy. Idei has said privately that Samsung is on the verge of overtaking Sony in the consumer-products race. Graeme Bateman, head of research in Seoul for Japanese investment bank Nomura Securities, says Samsung is "no longer making poor equivalents...
