...Europe. It's not clear if the recent spate of quality issues faced by Chinese manufacturers of low-end products, such as toys and clothing, will ultimately hurt ACACs chances. "Customers could hesitate because it's made in China," says O'Neill of Deloitte. "Airlines will be conscious of such talk...
...Bhutto's mausoleum is testimony more to his daughter's ambition than to his own self-image - before he was hanged, he had requested nothing more than a humble marble slab like those on the graves of his ancestors in the family plot.

Notwithstanding the silliness of the label-conscious, how could anyone buy a reusable bag (Hermès') that stows in a calfskin case? The suffering that calves go through for the production of this vanity item is unconscionable. Nancy Pennington, SEATTLE...
