Coca-Cola probably could not help but be caught off guard by the sugar industry's assault. Its run-in with textile workers, though, was an avoidable gaffe. Last month Coca-Cola unveiled a line of men's and women's casual clothing manufactured by Murjani International of New York City under a license from the Atlanta company. The Murjani products included bright-colored sweaters ($40), sweatshirts ($34) and jean jackets ($52), all bearing the Coca-Cola logo.

Aptly dressed in casual clothes, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi hopes to save the second largest importer of oil 81 million gal. each summer...
...looks scary to some Americans, from Beijing's perspective it seems very different. At last, think China's rulers, the world is being put into proper balance. After 500 years during which China fell asleep, it is once more taking its rightful place among the great powers. But most casual observers outside China don't understand that even as the nation gains respect, its people are haunted by a deep sense of past slights.
