...made the hard-line position unimpeachable. But partly at the prodding of nervous Arab allies, the U.S. has begun to look for ways to nudge the Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table. Last week the State Department latched onto a tentative offer made by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al Saud for the Arabs to grant Israel a full peace if the Israelis withdraw from all territory seized in the 1967 war. An Arab diplomat says the initiative "puts Sharon in a corner...[and] it signals to the U.S. government, 'If you get engaged...
Printing and imaging have long been the jewels in HP's crown, and Fiorina bristles at the suggestion that HP doesn't innovate enough (indeed, the company recently introduced the first photo printer that prints directly from a digital camera's storage card). She slams Hewlett's alternative as a waste of opportunity. Roughly 25% of the profit a combined HP-Compaq would make, in the best-case scenario, would come from printing and imaging. "It would be an easy course if we were focused on the short term," she says. "We're looking 10 years ahead...

The late King did not use the army against the insurgents, leading to speculation that he had reached an unofficial understanding with the rebels, which ended with his death. Others claim that with the Maoists' political leaders abroad, military commanders have gained the upper hand. "The guerrilla wing has become stronger and the political wing has become weaker," says Yubaraj Ghimire, editor-in-chief of the Nepali-language...
...Like the Europeans and even Israeli foreign minister Shimon Peres, the Saudis believe that a ceasefire won't take hold in the absence of a clearly visible peaceful path to Palestinian statehood. Instead of waiting for the Bush administration to restart political negotiations, Crown Prince Abdullah has stepped into the vacuum by restating the simple proposition that there'll be no long-term peace while Israeli soldiers and settlers continue to occupy the bulk of the Palestinian territory captured...
