READ THIS WEEKEND
Dear MarketWatch.com reader:
In the wake of the tragic Sept. 11 attacks, U.S. businesses are
working hard to react, regroup and recover. We want to let you know
that CBS.MarketWatch.com reporters are chronicling that effort in a
special series called America Recovers.
Each day, we pick a different sector and take an inside look at how a
specific company in that sector is handling the aftermath of the
attacks. Some companies are trying to restore offices or services that
were disrupted. Others are rushing to capitalize on new business
opportunities. All are adjusting to the new realities of doing
business in a changed world.
You can see the entire series to date, and future stories when they're
published, at:
