Intel says Asia matching global Q4 sales growth -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MADRAS, India, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Intel Corp INTC.O said on Tuesday sales of its computer chips in Asia was keeping pace with global sales growth in the fourth quarter of 1998. "In the fourth quarter, our business in Asia is definitely growing as fast as it is growing elsewhere," John Davies, Intel's vice-president and general manager, Asia Pacific, told a news conference in the southern Indian city of Madras. The world's largest computer chip maker said last month it expected fourth quarter revenues to be between eight and 10 percent above the third quarter level of $6.7 billion. Davies said the Asia Pacific region, which accounted for 20 percent of the firm's worldwide business, was seeing steady growth in personal computer (PC) sales. "PC sales is certainly growing, though not as fast as was predicted in 1997, when some people predicted growth of as much as 30 percent," he said. Intel revised its fourth quarter sales figures upward due to a rebound in demand. Davies said the Asia Pacific region had notched up a quarter of a billion dollars in Intel's electronic commerce billings since its launch in July, making it the world leader for Intel's new Internet-based business. "The goal is to get over 60 percent of our accounts online by end 1998 and we'll be adding a lot of countries from the region early next year and India is one of them." The chip-maker's director of South Asia, Atul Vijaykar, said the firm had held preliminary talks with the Indian authorities and was hopeful of clearances to start electronic commerce from the country, in early 1999. India currently does not permit commercial transactions over the Internet. REUTERS Rtr 12:50 12-01-98 Copyright 1998, Reuters News Service

Jeffrey you said :"Crime is rampant in America" ======== Yeah and our leader is linked to some of it, once again! 12/10 15:03 CORRECTED - NY man who gave Paula Jones $1 mln named in murder plot -2- In NEW YORK story headlined "NY man who gave Paula Jones $1 mln named in murder" please change headline to read ... "NY man who gave Paula Jones $1 mln named in murder plot" ...(makes clear case concerns a plot, not an actual murder). By Jeanne King NEW YORK, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Quirky real estate developer Abe Hirschfeld, who offered Paula Jones $1 million to settle her sexual harassment lawsuit against President Clinton, has been charged with plotting to have a partner murdered, prosecutors said on Thursday. Hirschfeld, 79, tried two years ago to arrange the contract killing of Stanley Stahl, 73, according to the indictment presented by Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau. The two men, business partners for 40 years, have been entangled in legal battles in recent years. The district attorney said Hirschfeld had an intermediary deliver $75,000 in cash -- half of an alleged agreed-upon fee to kill Stahl -- to another person whom he would not identify. Hirschfeld later had photos of Stahl and other information delivered by means of the intermediary, who tipped off Stahl to the plot on his life, Morgenthau said. The intermediary also was not identified. Stahl alerted authorities, Morgenthau said. Hirschfeld, who made millions of dollars building parking garages in New York City, briefly owned the New York Post in 1993 and later published a short-lived afternoon newspaper. In October, he gave Jones a $1 million check which he said she could cash if she dropped her case against Clinton. Jones had accused Clinton of harassing her in 1991 when he was Arkansas governor and she was a state employee. Lawyers for Clinton and Jones settled the lawsuit in November with an agreement that he pay her $850,000 but make no apology or admission of wrongdoing. The lawyers said as part of the deal the Hirschfeld offer was no longer on the table. Morgenthau said Hirschfeld was indicted for criminal solicitation, punishable by a prison term of up to seven years. "I think there is a very strong case here," Morgenthau said at a news conference. Asked if the alleged plot was serious, Morgenthau said: "I wouldn't be too happy if someone paid $150,000 to have me knocked off." Hirschfeld, in custody, was scheduled to be arraigned later in the day. Morgenthau said he would seek bail of $2.5 million. The unpredictable Hirschfeld had agreed to turn himself in to authorities on Wednesday morning but failed to show up and fired his attorney, Morgenthau said. Police arrested him just before midnight Wednesday at his Fifth Avenue home. He is already under indictment for state income tax fraud and had been free on a $1 million bond. He pleaded not guilty to charges he failed to pay taxes over a six-year period. Part of the two partners' legal wrangling was Hirschfeld's claim that Stahl did not like to rent property to black people. Stahl denied the charges. COPYRIGHT © 1998 REUTERS LIMITED.
