...poll shows that credit-card company Visa is barely identified as American. Even among those consumers who said they were inclined to boycott U.S. brands, only a few included Visa on the list. (American Express, by contrast, was strongly identified as being American.) Still, even companies that believe and practice a localized strategy aren't immune to political backlash. McDonald's, for example, adapts its menus to local taste; its restaurants serve Kiwi burgers in New Zealand and wine in France. But that hasn't prevented the fast-food chain from being a favorite target of French protesters. And General...
...remains true to its comic strip nature, telling its stories with charm and good humor. Originally a bilingual text, dialogue spoken between Japanese characters appeared in Japanese, but any interaction with the "whiteys" has been written in the Pidgin English of the non-native speaker.

But here’s the thing—“Toxic?...
...Posner’s credit, Catastrophe does anticipate Gabrielse’s counter-argument. Posner writes that “a cosmic ray hitting a fixed target such as the moon will tend to scatter the nuclei that it hits, making it less likely that they will clump”—and thus produce strange matter—“than if the collision were head on,” as it would be inside RHIC. So, the fact that the moon has existed for 4.5 billion years without condensing into a tiny ball does not necessarily...
