Only lately, however, has Adami started to find such charges funny. In May, Miller took the battle with Budweiser from the store shelves to a courtroom, seeking an injunction to stop Anheuser and its distributors from what it claimed were false and deceptive marketing practices, including the defacing of Miller products in stores with pro-Budweiser stickers. A federal court ordered Anheuser to pull liquor-store posters that said Miller is owned by South African Breweries--its parent, SABMiller, is now headquartered in London. But the judge allowed the continued airing of TV ads declaring that Miller is South African...
...evidence may have "gone up in smoke," says Salem Chalabi, a former New York City corporate attorney who leads the tribunal. Prosecutors may tap Saddam's former henchmen to build their case, say Iraqi officials. Eleven such loyalists had charges read to them at the makeshift U.S. military courtroom. Some are ready to cut deals, hoping to avoid the firing squad by testifying against their old boss. Isolated in his cell, Saddam has had ample time to mull over that possibility.

Although Bhutto and her husband successfully appealed a similar conviction last year, she was back in a Geneva courtroom last week to face more serious allegations involving some $13.8 million. Bhutto, who heads the opposition Pakistan People's Party from her self-imposed exile in London and Dubai, claims the charges are part of a Pakistani-government smear campaign against...
...DIED. SIR RICHARD MAY, 65, British judge who presided over former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's war-crimes tribunal; in Oxford, England. The low-key but occasionally prickly barrister resigned in February due to grave health, and after two years of courtroom wrangling with the defiant Serbian leader over everything from cell-phone use to the former dictator's efforts to blame the Balkan wars on Western political leaders...
