PARIS—France, joined byworld leaders locked arm-in-arm,mounted its largest-ever demon-stration Sunday in a defiant, iffragile, display of unity againstthe terror attacks that torethrough its capital last week.
More than three million peo-
ple, many of different politicaland religious stripes, marched inrallies across the country. Nearlyhalf of them flooded the streetsof Paris, transforming its mani-cured avenues into rivers of hu-manity, a stunning turnaround fora city that only days ago was sav-aged by gunfire and bloodshed.
Families and friends of the 17people killed in the spree of vio-lence moved solemnly at the
head of the march. French Presi-dent François Hollande and arow of leaders, who at timesmade for strange bedfellows, fol-lowed. German Chancellor An-gela Merkel walked arm-in-armwith Palestinian President Mah-moud Abbas. Israeli Prime Minis-ter Benjamin Netanyahu shookhands with President IbrahimBoubacar Keita of Mali, whichdoesn’t have diplomatic relationswith Israel.
“Today, Paris is the capital ofthe world,” Mr. Hollande said.
Neither President BarackObama nor Vice President Joe Bi-den made the trip. But on thesidelines of Sunday’s rally, Inte-rior Minister Bernard Cazeneuveconvened a meeting of senior se-curity officials from both sides ofthe Atlantic, including AttorneyGeneral Eric Holder to address

When Elon Musk, who loudlydisdains the traditional auto in-dustry, makes his first public ap-pearance in Detroit in two yearson Tuesday, it will be easy to seehow much has changed sincethen.
Mr. Musk’s Tesla Motors Inc.is worth six times more in stock-market value. He is pushing hardto sell 500,000 vehicles a yearby 2020, up from 90 a day in thethird quarter. And giant automakers are on a collision coursewith Tesla like never before,with General Motors Co. show-ing off a new electric car at theDetroit auto show on Monday.
Mr. Musk’s response? He sayshe doesn’t plan to change athing, from his proclivity for F-bombs to doubleduty as chief executive of rocket maker Space Ex-ploration Technologies Corp., or SpaceX, to ahands-on obsession with the tiniest operational
and car-design details at Tesla.He calls himself a “nano-man-
ager,” works about 100 hours aweek and still runs the automaker largely as he did before itsold the first Tesla Roadster in2008.
“I have OCD on product-re-lated issues,” he says with alaugh. “I always see what’s...wrong. Would you want that?When I see a car or a rocket orspacecraft, I only see what’swrong. I never see what’s right.It’s not a recipe for happiness.”
In a speech Tuesday at anauto-show event, Mr. Musk is ex-pected to criticize larger automakers for not responding toTesla even more aggressively. Hedenounces the rest of the indus-try as only halfheartedly trying
to produce battery-powered cars for the masses,PleaseturntopageA12

Electric-Car Pioneer MuskCharges Head-On at Detroit As fourth-quarter earnings
season gets under way, investorsare bracing for the softest U.S.profit growth in years, pinchedby collapsing oil prices and astrong dollar.
That double whammy, coupledwith the highest valuations forstocks since the financial crisis,will test the market’s ability toprolong its extended bull run andwill likely make for continued
bumpy trading in the weeksahead.
Over the past few months, theDow Jones Industrial Averageand S&P 500 have carved outnew record highs, while sufferingfrequent setbacks. Both indexeshit fresh peaks in the final ses-sions of last year but have sinceexperienced two straight weeksof declines.

Years ago, while hammeringaway at the University of Oregon’sfootball stadium, constructionworkers encountered a long-lostegg. They dug it up, the tall talegoes, and polished it. Out crackedan ugly duckling.
This creature—they named himMandrake—hatched in 2002 as anew Duck mascot. With a muscu-lar build and scowling bill, he wasthe intimidating embodiment of ameaner Oregon football team,whose mascot rides into games ona motorcycle and rips off push-ups for every point the Ducks
score. But then Man-drake ruffled thewrong feathers. Stu-dents turned on him.Children were terri-fied of him. No oneeven called him Man-drake. He was “Robo-duck” instead.
Roboduck won’t bewaddling around onMonday when Oregonplays Ohio State Uni-versity in college foot-ball’s national-championship gamein Arlington, Texas. He has beenmissing in official action since2003. Oregon officials have come
to the conclusion thatRoboduck hasquacked.
“We don’t knowwhere Roboduck is,”Oregon senior associ-ate athletic directorCraig Pintens said.“We lost touch withhim over the years.”
Oregon’s currentduck is simply theDuck. People also callhim Puddles.

On Said Kouachi’s road to rad-icalization, one key stop was afour-story dormitory of an Ara-bic-language school in the Ye-meni capital.
There he lived across the hallfrom a man with whom he stud-ied and visited the mosque inthe Old City of San’a: a Nigerianhandpicked by an al Qaeda clericto try to bring down a U.S.-bound airliner later that sameyear with a bomb in his under-wear.
Former neighbors and Yemeni
officials said the older of thetwo Kouachi brothers—bothkilled by French police on Fridayafter a three-day terror rampageacross Paris—spent close to twoyears in Yemen, the base of alQaeda’s most dangerous off-shoot. His younger brotherChérif also spent time in Yemenin 2011, according to U.S. andFrench officials.
Said, a French citizen of Alge-rian descent, befriended UmarFarouk Abdulmutallab in Yemenbefore the Nigerian left thecountry in December 2009 witha sophisticated bomb given tohim by al Qaeda in the ArabianPeninsula, or AQAP.
He tried to detonate the ex-plosives hidden in his underwear
on a Detroit-bound aircraft onChristmas Day the same year.But the attack failed when theexplosives malfunctioned, and hewas convicted in the U.S. in 2012on terrorism offenses
The Nigerian was one of ahandful of foreign-born jihadistswho met extensively with Anwaral-Awlaki, the charismatic, U.S.-
