...adamantly denying it. A-B has been fighting with the Czech Republic's Budvar brewery over the name Budweiser for years; in recent weeks, courts in Japan, Lithuania, Spain and Taiwan have all found against A-B. Analysts say a German acquisition wouldn't come as a surprise. And Denmark's Carlsberg has been nibbling around the German market for more than a decade. While the big get bigger, the small will get smaller. "Microbreweries, meaning small operations generating less than 500,000 liters per year, and especially the new generation of brew-pubs, are still a healthy business...
...Barringer. Nonprofits have to report where their money goes. Private companies don't. And potential donors who balk at USAgain's for-profit status may be even less pleased to know that the firm is run by Scandinavians associated with a secular cult whose leaders are on trial in Denmark for tax fraud and embezzlement.

But throughout the school year, TIME has followed three individuals who have been at the center of this ambitious experiment: fifth-grade teacher Marla Blakney, seventh-grade student Shaliah Denmark and elementary school principal Anita Duke. All three spent the past nine months in Philadelphia public schools that had been taken over by for-profit operators. Their experiences tell a more nuanced story than the one predicted by privatization's cheerleaders and critics when TIME first wrote about them and their...
...Shaliah Denmark wore a pressed blue uniform to her first few weeks of seventh grade at Shoemaker Middle School, an imposing five-story fortress in down-at-the-heels West Philadelphia. At 12, Shaliah was starting middle school with low reading scores and a habit of chatting too much in class. But ebullient and with a sweet smile, she talked last fall of hoping to make the honor roll, of liking math. At home she trailed her mother Tanya around the kitchen, reading from homework assignments as Tanya cooked dinner. By this spring, however, the seventh-grader had ditched...
