...revenues are set to soar by almost 20% this year. Not surprisingly, old-media firms are feeling the pinch. News Corporation chief executive Rupert Murdoch last week paid out $580 million for Los Angeles-based Intermix Media, the company behind the burgeoning social network at MySpace.com.

Outside an ice-cream parlor, a crowd of parents and children had gathered around a festive display featuring Santa Claus when a bomb hidden in a nearby garbage bin exploded. Within seconds, the scene of holiday merriment was transformed into grim mayhem. Five whites, among them a two-year-old child, were killed. In all, 61 people, including several blacks, were injured...
