Over the past two years, Kmart filed for bankruptcy, and Ames and Bradlees, once U.S. powerhouses, closed up shop. Wal-Mart is quickly adding scalps in the grocery industry too. Wal-Mart's next competitive weapon is advanced data mining, which it will use to forecast, replenish and merchandise on a micro scale, so that even stores close to one another could have substantially different offerings.

Only one Israeli was killed by a missile, though 15 died of heart attacks, suffocation in their gas masks or reaction to a chemical-weapon antidote that some took in a panic. Pentagon planners are worried that in a new war, if Saddam again hits Israel with missiles--wishing to ignite a wider conflict that would pit Muslim nations against the U.S. and Israel--Washington would be unable to convince the Israeli government, as it did in 1991, that it should refrain from...
