MB - DB 12:56 PAGER, COMPUTER INFORMATION SERVICES IN SHANGHAI ORDERED TO STOP CARRYING NEWS REPORTS-AP. DB 12:55 CHINESE GOVT. ORDERS PARTIAL NEWS BAN-AP. What a country! If a U.S. company has bad news, it halts trading, after the exec's get out. China just deletes the news, all news. You'd think that they would have learned from Clinton that the best way to deal with bad news is to dribble it out on Friday evening mixed with lies. Of course, maybe there are some secrets that not even Clinton will sell. -g- Regards, Don
