	Harvard vs. Kmart - The Boston Globe
		Kmart Corp. executives said this week they have rarely encountered such aggressive tactics as Harvard and its lawyers have used to try to oust them from their 85,000-square-foot Big Kmart store on Western Avenue.
		Kmart's presence could be in the way of the university's plans for a 200-acre science-oriented campus with housing and other commercial uses for the Allston campus and part of Brighton where Kmart is located.
		Kmart declined to say what it is paying for the space but said that after being level for a long time, the cost, tied to inflation, recently went up.

	Kmart - Markets
		Kmart is the second largest discount retailer in the United States, behind Wal-Mart, and is the largest retail bankruptcy ever in the U.S. This action, however, had been expected for weeks and was not a great surprise to analysts.
		Kmart officials admit that the company has $1.6 billion in debt, but note that they just secured 2 billion in financing to cover this debt and expect to be out of bankruptcy within one year.
		Kmart is, however, evaluating all of its locations with plans to close up to 500 unprofitable locations in addition to the 350 locations closed last year.

	Kmart files for bankruptcy, gets financing - Jan. 22, 2002
		Kmart's bankruptcy filing, with $17 billion in assets, is the biggest ever for a U.S. retailer, according to Bankruptcydata.com.
		Kmart, which has about $37 billion in annual revenue, said it had secured $2 billion in debtor financing to pay its $1.6 billion in debt and expected to emerge from bankruptcy in about a year.

Both are said to be looking for ways to expand in the United States.

	Months Later, Kmart Slips Below a Buck
		Troy, Mich.-based Kmart has said it hopes to emerge from bankruptcy in 2003, but so far has given little evidence that it is getting its act together.
		In Kmart's most recent quarter, for the 13 weeks ended May 1, the company lost $1.45 billion, or $2.88 per share, on the heels of falling sales and a large charge to account for store closings.
		Kmart has struggled to compete with the likes of Wal-Mart (WMT:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) and Target (TGT:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis); the bankruptcy filing was designed in part to trim the company's overhead and reposition Kmart against its well-financed competitors.
