THIS WEEK'S BUSINESS PRESS POLL QUESTION
Much of the concern about the ongoing financial crisis rests on fears that companies' inability to get credit will worsen the already deteriorating economy. Proctor & Gamble Co.'s CEO recently wrote in a newspaper guest column that the company's customers are cutting back on purchases, and that P&G's suppliers can't get access to enough money to run their businesses.
