...think is a good and smart idea," says David Johnson, group product manager of Trojan Brand Condoms. Trojan's parent company, Church and Dwight, makes nearly 8 out of 10 condoms sold in the U.S. But different-size condoms introduce their own problems: namely, men aren't very eager to buy a small size. Trojan's Magnum line, whose condoms are 15% bigger than regular ones, accounts for 13% of the U.S. market. But when the company introduced a smaller condom several years ago, it had to discontinue...
...Torrential rain could not keep away the rabid Chinese fans. Outside the arena a manicured bush shaped like a basketball greeted the eager hoopheads. One man, in a LeBron James jersey, had his picture taken with a Chinese flag draped over his shoulder. A child had a flag painted on each cheek - one American, one Chinese.

Until his wandering eye settles upon the astonishingly beautiful, much younger Consuela Castillo (Penelope Cruz, whose performance is entrancingly eager yet reserved).

That leaves American and Iraqi...
...book called The Purpose Driven Church: Growth Without Compromising Your Message & Mission. (The "purpose" was God's.) His knack for schematization allowed almost any minister to reconfigure his church along the lines of Saddleback. Warren says that he and his staff have given "purpose-driven training" to 500,000 eager pastors worldwide and that 1 out of 20 U.S. churches has done his "40 Days of Purpose" exercises. In all, says fellow megapastor Joel Hunter, Warren's is "easily the broadest and most influential church network in the world...
