- 2:43Speaker 1: not true justice or grappling with the tough legal issues,
- 2:47Speaker 1: and we're calling on the United States Department of Justice

- 5:29Speaker 1: and it wasn't even close. Micron Technology, the maker of
- 5:33Speaker 1: memory chips. He had a couple of analysts raising their
- 5:36Speaker 1: ratings on the stock. The more dramatic of the two,
- 5:40Speaker 1: you might say, occurred at NOMA, which raised Micron to
- 5:44Speaker 1: buy from the equivalent of cell. They're talking about shortages
- 5:49Speaker 1: of the chips, higher prices. Micron also lifted to buy

- 6:20Speaker 1: and praying that a manager with a background and merchandise
- 6:23Speaker 1: can figure out a way finally to reinvent the venerated,
- 6:27Speaker 1: struggling though department store change. This man is Jeff Gannette.
- 6:33Speaker 1: He is a thirty three year company veterom. He's going
- 6:35Speaker 1: to take over the top post from Terry Londgren in
