airline crisis have barely spoken since a bitter falling-out two years ago.

Page 2: The burst of optimism that the economic slowdown will slowly reverse has faded,
with consumer-related company executives again gloomy about the outlook.

Page 3: Nikki Webster, the pint-sized superstar of the Sydney Olympics, has fallen
flat in her quest to sing in support of Beijing's bid to host the 2008 Games.

World: Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri was in crisis talks with Damascus last
night after Israel warplanes pounded Syrian positions, killing at least three Syrian soldiers
and wounding five.
