...high-risk experience for the approximately 11 million Americans who suffer from food allergies. (Can I take the waiter's word that there isn't shellfish in my soup?) But help is on the way. "We're starting to see a sea change in how restaurants approach allergies," says Anne Munoz-Furlong, founder and CEO of Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network. Burger King, for instance, posts allergy information on its website, hangs allergen-alert signs in franchises and is developing a staff allergy-training program. Outback Steakhouse advertises a gluten-free menu, and Flat Top Grill, a stir-fry chain, uses...
...read with interest your article on the growth of bullying in European schools [Jan. 24]. The escalating problem is hardly surprising given that one administrator's response to a bullying situation was to tell the students he would resign if the bullying didn't stop. Perhaps this type of approach reflects the root of the problem. The guilty offender is not held accountable for his actions and is not required to face any consequences.

When I accepted President Bush's invitation to join his Administration at the EPA, I knew the President shared my vision of finding new, innovative ways to advance environmental goals--approaches that didn't rely on the heavy hand of government but would instead build partnerships around shared goals for a better environment.

Priests and lay people in traditional Catholic strongholds in the Northeast and Midwest are distressed by a plunge in regular Mass attendance to just 30% of the registered congregation in many parishes, by a chronic shortage of priests and by the financial burden of paying off settlements for sexual-abuse cases. But Catholics in places like Charlotte say the church is being born again in the cradle of born-again Christianity--the South. The Catholic population in Charlotte is growing almost 10% a year, and the ratio...
...fell to an old-timer, Charles Brown, a lean, cerebral 31-year Kodak survivor who is today the chief administrative officer. A chemical engineer, Brown spent much of his career in manufacturing, ultimately developing a lean production system in 1997 that was based on Toyota's acclaimed continuous-improvement approach. He dubbed it the Kodak Operating System. KOS forces managers to look at everything that happens in a plant in terms of waste--waste of time, waste of space and so on. They then analyze every step in a process--down to the hand movements of assembly-line workers...
