5426: Close-Minded.


What’s in store with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Disney announced plans to shut down about 98 retail stores. Home Depot is closing 15 stores, plus rethinking previous plans to open 50 others. Earlier announcements included Talbots closing 78 stores, Ann Taylor closing 117 stores in the next two years and Pacific Sunwear closing 154 demo stores. Home Depot probably hopes to realize additional sales by offering window-boarding materials and going-out-of-business signage to the failed enterprises.

• A survey by CNN/Opinion Research Corp. revealed President Bush has a record-breaking disapproval rating of 71 percent. No word when Dubya plans to shut down the store.
