...especially in europe. Regulatory headaches, difficult access to capital and a hodgepodge of privatization policies make the hard job of running a business even harder. Little wonder that more than half of small-business start-ups fail within five years. And yet Europe depends more and more on the bold entrepreneur. Across the region, over half the 120 million private-sector jobs are in small businesses (with fewer than 50 employees). As Europe's industrial giants move jobs to low-wage locales in developing countries, small and medium enterprises (SMES) are the engine of new job growth, accounting for about...
...tries to position herself for the future with versions of Carly Simon's Anticipation, Carole King's I Feel the Earth Move and Joni Mitchell's Help Me. These are eclectic choices that would help define Moore's aesthetic - if only she had one.

You have to rationalize its commitment to the warrior values that, nostalgized and bastardized, would help make Japan such a cruel and dangerous player on the world stage less than a century later. But because the movie's business is to celebrate those values in uncorrupted form, viewers can probably silence such concerns...
...bold and amusing challenge, however, met a fiery rebuff. After public condemnation from Macy’s, Fierstein was hastily moved to his own float, separate from a presumably heterosexual Santa. He was alienated and, left without much public support, issued a feeble apology...
