Slump May Signal End Of Economic Expansion
The economy shrank 0.4 percent from July to September, the biggest drop since early 1991, amid weak consumer spending and drop in business investment. Analysts fear a recession may begin earlier, with potential follow-on declines in output, layoffs, and disrupted travel and air services after the Sept. 11 attacks. The Bush administration pushes a $60 to $75 billion stimulus, facing partisan wrangling in Congress.

Red Cross to halt soliciting after Sept 11 fund
The American Red Cross says it will stop soliciting donations as the Liberty Fund holds 547 million in pledges for attack relief. More than 200 million in uncommitted funds will cover future needs tied to the attacks. Interim leader Harold Decker says the fund was for a specific event and will close. The disaster relief fund sits at 26 million with a 57 million target, and post today new gifts go to the general fund unless earmarked. Liberty Fund dollars will aid victims families and related relief efforts.
