Uday, however, was much more dangerous. The smallest thing could set him off. He was a stickler for personal hygiene, recalls a butler, and hated the smell of sweat. One summer day Uday stopped the butler and said, "What the hell is that smell?" Uday ordered five falaqa lashes on the butler's right foot and five in his right armpit. On another occasion, the butler says he received 160 falaqa for the sin of serving Uday's food on the wrong type of plate...
Like every other news organization, the Times has had its share of embarrassments, but it also has a custom of obsessively addressing them in a corrections section on page 2 that is so meticulous about the smallest mistakes that it suggests the paper would never make any big ones. Any reporter with a 5% or 6% correction rate, says Raines, comes under scrutiny; the Times found 36 errors in the 73 articles Blair wrote between October and the end of April. Some of the editors who suspected his methods were reluctant to condemn him. Others neglected to share their concerns...
...even higher now. The Big Three's overall North American market share slipped to 61.7% last year, an all-time low, and it has declined an additional 1.6 points in the first quarter of 2003.

Though it is narrowing the quality gap, Detroit today squeezes almost all its earnings out of "light trucks," an industry category that includes SUVs and pickups. But the transplants are attacking that bastion. Toyota is adding capacity for its full-size pickup, the Tundra, with...

Just 16 millimeters in length, the tiny fish was earlier mistaken for a youngling of other types of sea horse. The species is named for photographer Denise Tackett, whose images first alerted scientists to the discovery...
...Both Bombardier and Embraer are gambling big money on ever larger regional jets. New 90-plus-seat models, the Bombardier CRJ900 (rolled out in January) and the Embraer ERJ190 (expected next year), cost each firm nearly $1 billion to develop, but might face competition from Boeing's and Airbus' smallest models. Bombardier and Embraer are also beefing up international operations, especially in jet-hungry China. Embraer last year launched a $25 million joint venture to build 50-seaters in China for that market. Bombardier is in negotiations with Chinese partners to build 70- and 90-seat jets. The fates...
