The morning papers, reviewed
-- From Bloomberg:
Ihop Corp., the biggest US pancake-house chain, agreed to buy Applebee's International Inc. for $1.9 billion in cash, and plans to sell restaurants to franchisees to reduce costs and debt.
Shares of Tums doubled following the announcement.
-- From U.S. News & World Report:
Reid Plans Iraq Sleepover

-- From the Associated Press:
