...Iraq war, we still need to focus on the fallacy of his overall vision. Whereas Iraq posed little or no threat, North Korea is clearly a great nuclear danger, and yet Bush backs off from any confrontation. It seems he likes only easy targets. Jeffrey McCabe Oberhofen, Austria...
...haven't any German brewers become global players? Bavarian monks formalized and perfected the art of brewing in the Middle Ages. Yet even a German giant like Holsten is dwarfed by Heineken - which produced 11 billion liters in 2002 and is awaiting regulatory approval for its purchase of Austria's 2.6 billion-liter-per-year BBAG brewery for €1.9 billion. Shackleton explains that when Dutch and Belgian brewers began seeing their local markets shrink in the late 1980s, they responded by beefing up their exports, hammering the "premium" theme and buying up other breweries. German brewers, by contrast, were...
...Caribbean these days," says Vikki Berg, travel editor at Brides magazine in the U.K. "People prefer to go off to a villa in Italy instead."

But precisely because we all love Italy so much, shouldn't Europe...
...aggressively cut prices for chemical transport in an effort to compete. A spokeswoman confirms that DB has been "passing on cost reductions to its clients." Responding to the competition, it has also expanded its service of chemical cargo trains, and struck deals with rail-freight operators in France, Austria and Switzerland to offer the sort of international service that Rail4Chem has been fighting to provide. Meanwhile, Raith has no choice but to buy electricity from DB's energy division, which sells it to him at 37% more than DB pays. Raith and others have complained to the nation's cartel...
