...artemisia remedy was "a couple of years away from widespread use." Perhaps there has been a delay in production because the cost has been overestimated and the rewards underestimated. But the firm that produces an affordable artemisia tablet would enjoy tremendous brand-name recognition worldwide. JACQUES M. DEWULF Wemmel, Belgium...
...today's beer market, being part of a multinational is all but essential. Most Western beer markets are flat - Guinness sales in Ireland fell 6% by volume from June 2003 to June 2004 - and more and more breweries are being snapped up by behemoths like London-based SABMiller and Belgium's InBev. Guinness is typical: since 1997 it's been a part of the British beverage conglomerate Diageo, which last week announced mixed financial results; it made $3.3 billion in operating profits for fiscal year 2004 which, if not for "exceptional items," would be down from the previous year.

...number of not-for-profit foundations throughout Europe. And a network of foundations is beginning to lobby for pan-European legislation. According to the Brussels-based European Foundation Centre, about a quarter of the 61,000 foundations in the European Union were established in the past decade.

In Belgium Luc Tayart de Borms oversees the €227 million King Baudouin Foundation, which was set up by the former Belgian King, and serves as an umbrella organization for corporate and other donors. The number of private funds under its aegis has doubled in five years. Britain, which has a long...
...Japan, China, London, New York City and elsewhere and somehow wove them into a single tale about the transmigration of souls. In Cloud Atlas, his third novel, the prodigiously talented Briton, 35, tries to do with time what he earlier did with space. Six tales crisscross--moving between Belgium in 1931 and a genomic future in which North Korea has discovered genetic engineering--and so suggest that all times and not just all people are linked by six degrees of separation. It's no coincidence that one composer here is writing a "final, symphonic major work, to be named Eternal...
