...though he worships in a church, at the same time Numake lives very much as kastom dictates. He embodies the meeting of two worlds found in many of his fellow ni-Vanuatu: a Western-dressed world traveler with a mobile phone and a partnership in the island's most upmarket resort, he consults healers who specialize in ridding people of curses, and talks with the spirits from which his island sprang...
...mind when Americans talk new cars. So the company is aiming for a greater swath of the market with seven new or redesigned vehicles, including the Accent ($9,999) and the refreshed 2006 Sonata (some made in Alabama), the firm's standard-bearer sedan.

By melding the Sears savvy in selling so-called hard goods like dishwashers, lawn mowers and flat-panel TVs with Kmart's upmarket "soft" brands like Martha Stewart Everyday, Jaclyn Smith and Joe Boxer, the sales pitch goes, the two perennial retail losers just might create a winning formula. On the other hand, by combining two badly managed retail dinosaurs into one, wags say, the companies may simply save themselves some bankruptcy fees when...
