...Canal building requires tricky engineering over obstacles such as hills; the typical solution is a lock, which fills or empties to adjust water height. On Britain's southernmost canal?the 140-km Kennet and Avon, linking the town of Reading on the River Thames to the seaport of Bristol?travelers will encounter dozens of locks, often close together, as in the impressive flight of 16 built in 1810 to climb Caen Hill near Devizes, Wiltshire, pictured above. In traditional canal boats that rent from $1,160 a week, you can chug merrily along, do some lazy fishing and nature watching...

But Abbott has declined to pass along the Norvir price hike to its own combination drug, Kaletra (which is pre-boosted with Norvir), thereby undercutting its competitors. A savvy business move? Certainly. Kaletra will doubtless gain increased market share as higher Norvir prices...
...medical research ... Of the 21 most important drugs introduced between 1965 and 1992, 15 were developed using knowledge and techniques from federally funded research." A GAO report last year on Taxol, which had worldwide sales of $6.2 billion from 1998 to 2002, noted, "Through a collaboration with NIH, [Bristol-Myers Squibb] benefitted from substantial investments in research conducted or funded by NIH."
