Arnold's turnaround -- A year after embarrassing defeat, Schwarzenegger cruising to re-election

WASHINGTON - If there's one storyline that nearly all Americans can appreciate, it's the comeback.

We see it in our films ("The Natural," "Star Wars"), our sports (the 1992-93 Buffalo Bills, the 2004 Red Sox), our history (the Texan victory after the Alamo, the Pacific theater in World War II), and -- especially -- our politics.

Take Harry Truman's come-from-behind victory over Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 presidential election. Or Richard Nixon's two presidential wins in 1968 and 1972, after losing his 1960 bid and his race for governor two years later.

Four firefighters killed in California wildfire

A wind-whipped wildfire started by an arsonist killed four firefighters and stranded up to 400 people in an recreational-vehicle park in California.

"Everybody is hunkered down here. They're fighting the fire around us. It's across the street from us," said Charles Van Brunt, a ranger at the station at the entrance to Silent Valley Club, the recreational vehicle park near Palm Springs. The residents were in no immediate danger, he said last night.

Authorities asked people in the park to stay put to leave roads clear for firefighters. Hundreds of others in the area were forced from their homes.

Fire officials said the blaze was deliberately set around 1 a.m. Fire Chief John Hawkins said the arson "constitutes murder."

Wal-Mart to Push Computers, Consumer Electronics for Holidays

CHICAGO — Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) said on Monday it would promote key electronics such as flat-panel televisions, MP3 players, video gaming consoles and laptop computers as part of an aggressive holiday campaign.

Less than one week after the world's biggest retailer declared an early start to the holiday shopping season by cutting prices on more than 100 popular toys and games, Wal-Mart said it intends to be the lowest-priced retailer in gift categories such as electronics and jewelry as well.

Wal-Mart has expanded its offering of flat-panel televisions, bringing in name-brands such as Sony (SNE) and Samsung and stepping up advertising on prime programs including ESPN's Monday Night Football.

Gary Severson, Wal-Mart's head of electronics and toys, said the company's surveys showed that it offered the lowest price on flat-panel TVs 88 percent of the time.

"We're working on that other 12 percent rapidly, believe me," he said at Wal-Mart's analyst meeting on Monday, adding that year-over-year sales growth was in the triple digits for flat-panel TVs.

Oct. 23, 2006 — The big news on iPod's fifth birthday is, well, the iPod.

Buzz continues to surround Apple's slick line of hand-held media players as talk of the long-awaited iPhone — an iPod that also doubles as a cell phone — and a video iPod with a bigger screen and touch-screen controls persist.

With 70 percent of the market in Apple's hands and more than 65 million iPods in consumers' hands, there seems to be nothing even close to threatening the player's dominance — even with major players like Microsoft trying desperately to pump up the hype on its forthcoming player and download store, Zune.
