MARKETPLACE ROUND-UP: NIKE RALLIES REVISITED

          There was little coverage of the demonstrations last
     weekend against Nike planned by S.F.-based Global Exchange. 
     In FL, the Tallahassee DEMOCRAT's Leah Bennet reported that
     fans going to Saturday's FSU-GA Tech game passed Nike
     protestors who were shouting "Boycott Nike" and holding up
     signs depicting the swoosh with blood dripping from it.
     Bennet added the protestors "were met both with indifference
     and curiosity" (Tallahassee DEMOCRAT, 10/19).  Over the
     weekend, Nike issued a press release touting and updating
     its labor initiatives throughout the world.  Nike also
     provided additional information at nikeworkers.com (Nike).
          NOTES: ANC Sports Enterprises has reached a multi-year
