Mark, The LG/Hyundai marriage is not what it looks like on the surface. It is a shotgun marriage where the squabbling began even before the marriage started. See exchange2000.com. My comment to the above post was: "Fascinating. LG must have some heavyweight backers. This may end both of them, and solve the supply problem immediately. Maybe its actually Samsung that has the heavyweight backers?" On the Congress/Clinton business: the brilliant plan of the Republicans seems to me to back Clinton/Gore into resignations so that Newt can take over. Then we will have a man who married his high school teacher only to tell her while she was in the hospital being treated for cancer a decade or so later that she wasn't "pretty" enough to be the wife of a President; who last year told the House Judiciary Committee that he wouldn't contest his plea bargain publicly in the morning and who that afternoon was caught on a cell phone making plans to do just that taking over the WH. Somehow no one seems to consider that perfidious perjury or anti "family values", but they all pretend to believe that Clinton's statements/actions merit dismissal. I find it just amazing, even by Congressional standards. Let's not even get into the pass they and the press gave to Reagan all those years on his family values or his continual administration lies and defiance of Congress, Iran-Contra only being the most remarkable.

Mark, More on the LG/Hyundai squabbling before their proposed marriage: news.com Excerpt: On a global level, the merger would spur the shake-up in the memory chip industry that is already under way with several firms vowing to exit after years of sliding chip prices. "The merger would result in slowing down the global capacity expansion and will have a long-term positive impact price-wise," said Jeon Woo-jong, an analyst at Dongwon Securities. Despite the dispute, analysts said the merger deal itself would likely go ahead. South Korea has told its big business conglomerates, or chaebol, to actively seek mergers, exchanges of business lines or other ways to ease the severe domestic oversupply in a several key industries, resulted from years of overlapped investment.
