Late-night News
North Korea denies it purchased nuclear secrets from Pakistani. Viacom is set to confirm that it will sell its majority stake in video-rental chain Blockbuster. The sale will most likely take place through a stock-swap offer to Viacom shareholders. US forces in Iraq apprehended Muhsin Khadr al-Khafaji, number 48 on the list of the 55 most wanted Iraqis. Vodafone, the world's largest mobile-phone operator, is looking at the idea of purchasing all of Verizon Communications, keeping the wireless business and selling the rest.

Asian markets are mostly unchanged.
S&P 500 indicated -.04%
NASDAQ indicated+.10%


BOTTOM LINE: Overseas markets are quiet for the most part. No significant market-moving news released late-night. Most likely another quiet day tomorrow ahead of Greenspan's testimony on Wed.
