...Mart's inventories swelled by 5.6% as sales fell. Hood estimates that for each 1% increase in inventory this year, K Mart's cash flow will drop some $40 million. That's money the company needs to continue its program to remodel old stores and build new Super K supermarket-discount stores. If K Mart had been as efficient in selling as Wal-Mart, it could have earned $200 million in the third quarter instead of losing $224 million...

...beauty, love and guiltless sex, brewed a "salsa" of salmonella and sprinkled it on fruits and veggies in the salad bar at Shakey's Pizza in The Dalles, Ore. They put it in blue-cheese dressing, table-top coffee creamers and potato salads at 10 local restaurants and a supermarket. They poured it into a glass of water and handed it to a judge. They fed it to the district attorney, the doctor, the dentist. Their plan: to seize control of the county government by packing polling booths with imported homeless people while making local residents too sick to vote...
