 SUCKLE CORP. HONORED: The Suckle Corp. of Scranton has received ISO 9002 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; certification, attesting to the company's adherence to international
quality control standardsSuckle Corp., which has manufactured metal
fabrications and assemblies since 1945, features world-class equipment and a
roster of the electrical/electronic Fortune 50 firms. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies from 120 countries. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The company also announced a contract with Thomson Consumer Electronics of
Scranton which is expected to grow to the multi-million-dollar level. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

 MICROSOFT FIGHTS FEDERAL CLAIM: Microsoft fired another legal salvo in its
battle with the Justice Department, challenging the government's contention
that Windows 95 can be separated from its Internet Explorer. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In a brief filed Tuesday in federal district court in Washington, D.C.,
Microsoft's attorneys say the federal government's request that the company
remove only the browser icon from its Windows 95 operating system proves its
point that Windows 95 and Internet Explorer are a single product. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 On Nov. 20, the Department of Justice told the court that Windows 95 could
function without Internet Explorer and that Microsoft should be required to
offer computer makers the option of installing Windows 95 without Microsoft's
browser. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 A browser is used to view content on the World Wide Web. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson agreed, and ordered the company
to stop its practice of forcing computer makers to install the Microsoft
Internet browser whenever they install Windows 95. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 COLORED ENVELOPES SLOWING MAIL: The Postal Service won't say no-no-no if
you choose to say your ho-ho-hos with green and red envelopes, but the
holiday's most festive colors actually slow down the Christmas mail. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Computers that sort mail using bar codes and addresses have a hard time
reading red and green envelopes because of the lack of contrast. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In New York, red and green envelopes are pulled out and put in separate
trays for sorting by hand. Elsewhere, computers that can't sort a piece of
mail beam an image of the address to a postal clerk, who keys it in. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 For those who want Christmas-colored envelopes and maximum mailability,
Sozzi offers a solution: Use a red or green envelope, but print the address on
a white label, preferably using capital letters and a computer or typewriter. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 CHURCH BLASTS BEER COMMERCIAL: The Rev. Edward Smart wants everyone to know
the truth: There's no beer in heaven. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 A TV commercial by Miller Brewing Co. showing three beer-swilling angels
partying in heaven is blasphemous, Smart says, and should be off the air
permanently. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The pastor at Israel Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church has helped
collect a petition of 3,000 signatures and won a Newark, N.J., City Council
resolution last week that condemned the ad, which aired nationally for two
months beginning in October. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The ad, created by the ad agency Fallon McElligott of Minneapolis, shows
three youngish men with white suits and wings dancing to hip-hop music and
chugging Miller Lite. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 When the "angels" run out of beer, they look down on Earth and create a
wind gust that drops a tree in front of a Miller truck. The bottles fall off
the back of the truck and float up to heaven, and the party resumes. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 ASIAN NEWS SPOOKS DOW JONES: Stocks fell sharply near Tuesday's close after
holding steady for most of the session following another panicky selloff in
Southeast Asia. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Dow Jones industrial average sank about 127 points to 7,691, with most
of the damage coming in the last hour of trading. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Broad-market indicators were also hit hard late in the session as investors
opted for a defensive stance before the holidays. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The market had been only modestly lower for most of the day despite the
latest aftershock from South Korea, where stocks plunged a record 7.5 percent
amid news that Standard &amp; Poor's had downgraded that country's credit rating. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 U.S. investors may have drawn some confidence from European markets, which
shrugged off the turmoil in South Korea. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 But with Japanese financial markets closed for a holiday, it was unclear
whether Wall Street would wake up today to a steep decline in Tokyo. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
