     his GoodWords Int'l group to "review a new code of conduct
     for the shoe and apparel company's overseas factories,"
     according to an AP report in the ARIZONA REPUBLIC.  Young

          NIKETOWN AD ACCOUNT: Nike yesterday placed in review
     the ad account for its NikeTown chain, which has been
     handled for 18 months by the Leap Partnership unit of the
     Leap Group, Chicago.  Nike spokesperson McClain Ramsey said
     Leap would be included in the review, but declined to
     "identify other participants."  Competitive Media Reporting
