...preoccupation with the war on terrorism has deepened the malaise. Close allies like Mexican President Vicente Fox have been ignored. Plans for liberalizing immigration went back to the drawing board. "One day Bush was our mejor amigo, and the next he wouldn't take our phone calls," says a former Fox aide. Now the distinctly anti-U.S. former mayor of Mexico City, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is the front runner for the July 2 presidential election. Being a friend of America has become a political liability...
...hold on to small- and medium-size-business classifieds. We're trying to take that market. On an evolutionary basis, things move from off-line to online. When the 50-year-old manager of the Brown Shoe Co. loses an employee, what does he do? He reaches for the phone to put an ad in the paper because that's what he's always done.

...purple crossed the sky from the west. Radio bulletins told of a seven o'clock twister that picked up and dumped a stretch of asphalt on cars near Star City, Ark., killing seven people, and the first squalls hit Memphis half an hour later in slanted sheets of rain. Phone calls from the Lorraine to Lawson in Mason Temple verified that the crowd indeed was thin--perhaps fewer than 2,000 in the huge hall that had packed seven times that many for King's visit on March 18. He feared the sharp drop-off would invite belittling stories...
