Beginning Feb. 1, 240 to 250 new Wal-Mart Supercenters will be built in the fiscal year. About 80-90 of these will be new facilities. This is old hat to Alice, Helen, Jim, John and Rob -the Walton family -who occupied five spots of the top ten richest Americans in 2004.On the opposite end of the monetary spectrum is the student budget. They dine on caviar -we buy imitation lunchmeat (and mustard if we have enough pocket change.) Unfortunately, before we climb our way to the top of the corporate ladder, someone who already did has left his legacy to help us out.Wal-Mart is the biggest employer in 21 states, with more people in uniform than the U.S. Army, according to a Nov. 2004 special edition of Fortune magazine (http://www.fortune.com/fortune/specials/2004/walmart/walmart.html). While Fortune named Wal-Mart the most admired company in America for the past two years, I have to wonder what about Wal-Mart is to be admired.In the beginning, Sam Walton only bought from American suppliers.

WASHINGTON -President Bush named John Negroponte, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, as the government's first national intelligence director yesterday, turning to a veteran diplomat to revive a spy community besieged by criticism after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Ending a nine-week search, Bush chose Negroponte, who has been in Iraq for less than a year, for the difficult job of implementing the most sweeping intelligence overhaul in 50 years. Negroponte, 65, is given the task of bringing together 15 highly competitive spy agencies and learning to work with the combative Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, new CIA Director Porter Goss and other intelligence leaders. He will oversee a covert intelligence budget estimated at $40 billion. Negroponte, a former ambassador to the United Nations and to a number of countries, called the job his most challenging assignment in more than 40 years of government work. He was widely believed not to have been the first choice, but Bush officials denied the president had trouble filling the position. If confirmed by the Senate, as expected, Negroponte said he planned reform of the intelligence community in ways designed to best meet the intelligence needs of the 21st century.
