...government has decreed that as of that date, both domestic alcohol and the estimated 200 million imported bottles held in stock by Russia's retailers and suppliers have to carry sophisticated new excise labels. Selling or hoarding bottles with the old labels is punishable by a $1,500 [an error occurred while processing this directive] fine and loss of a license to sell alcohol. On the same date, any transactions in alcoholic goods became illegal, unless entered into the computerized Unified State Automated Information System ( usais). The state also ordered alcohol retailers to double their authorized capital stock from...
...drop hundreds of red markers, attached to nets, which bob for nearly 2 km along the water's surface, forming rows as neat as traffic lanes on a highway. Then they maneuver their boats to form a wide square, and they wait. As the sun rises an hour [an error occurred while processing this directive] later, a drama begins to unfold. Nearly 200 huge tuna glide through the lanes until they find themselves trapped atop a net that the fishermen have connected between their boats. The tuna thrash about wildly in a desperate search for escape, but the captains have...
...generate electricity has seemed destined for the dustbin of history. What good is a fuel that emits into the atmosphere twice as much carbon dioxide (CO2) - considered the worst of the greenhouse gases - as does natural gas? Britain, for instance, once hoped to reduce its reliance on [an error occurred while processing this directive] coal-generated power from around 32% to 16% by 2020 as part of its plan to cut carbon emissions by 60% by 2050. And yet, by all indications, coal seems poised for a comeback. Thanks to high natural-gas prices, worries about gas-reserve levels...
...conflict in the Niddle East escalates, Lord Levy, Tony Blair's special envoy to the region, might be expected to be busy. But Levy's time is taken up by another task he performs for Britain's Prime Minister: persuading wealthy patrons to stump up cash [an error occurred while processing this directive] for the Labour Party. Those donors, and the Prime Minister he devotedly serves, were bound to be concerned after Levy was arrested last week. Police are investigating possible breaches of the laws governing party funding; 48 people have already been interviewed by the authorities, who hope...
...long Greek drama came closer to its end last week when the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles agreed to return to Greece two ancient artifacts: a 2,400-year-old [an error occurred while processing this directive] tombstone, right, and a 6th century B.C. marble relief, above. For decades, Greece has noisily lobbied for the return of relics - especially the British Museum's Elgin Marbles, which were stripped from Athens' Parthenon in the early 1800s. Its efforts got a big boost last year, when Italian authorities put former Getty antiquities curator Marion True on trial for trafficking...
