...Toyota with black-tinted windows picked me up and drove me through Khartoum. Finally, after arriving at a building on the outskirts of the city, I was shown into a cramped office where several bodyguards stood watchfully. Tall, barefoot, smiling broadly, bin Laden greeted me in a gold-trimmed robe and red-checkered headdress. With an exaggerated gesture of his arms, he offered a cushion as a seat. Depending on who is to be believed, this gracious hospitality came from either a devout Muslim businessman, as bin Laden would claim, or "one of the most significant financial sponsors of Islamic...
...paradoxes of Japan right now, reminiscent in some ways of the U.S., is that while some companies are doing well, their workers are not.

That's where her path crossed that of Michael LaSane, who, police say, wanted just such a car to celebrate his 17th birthday. Grabbing the diminutive Weinstein by the jaw, the assailant told her he had a gun and forced her into the Camry. The car was then driven to Manitou Park, about two miles from the shopping center...
...business as a whole. Dealers in both new and used cars will probably flourish alongside the superstores, while independent operators who sell only secondhand cars will find the new entries deadly competition. Automakers, meanwhile, profess to see rosy possibilities in the change. Says Yale Gieszel, executive vice president of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A: "I don't think you'll see a decline in the number of Toyota dealers in the next five years." Still, it is comforting to believe someone could actually want to buy a used car from one of those guys...
