This is the one paragraph that caught my eye:
For many suppliers, though, the only thing worse than doing business with Wal-Mart may be not doing business with Wal-Mart. Last year, 7.5 cents of every dollar spent in any store in the United States (other than auto-parts stores) went to the retailer.
If WM can do to Pep Boys, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, and O'Reilly's what they've done to KMart and others, Mr Fishman can't dust off this piece and rerun it next year with just a little snip.
