...winner of Sunday's run-off will inherit a strong economy, which grew by 5.6 percent in 2007, the fastest annual growth in two decades, primarily driven by sugar and fruit exports. The Central American Free Trade Agreement with the United States implemented last year should lead to a more than 50 percent rise in foreign direct investment in 2007. And both parties plan to boost competitiveness by promoting foreign investment and trade. But in a country that has the highest chronic child malnutrition rate in the Western Hemisphere and the region's lowest tax rate, the economic windfall...
Ever since you bought Fruit of the Loom and its plus-size offspring Vanity Fair back in 2002, extending your empire to the firmament of the foundation garment universe, I have been waiting patiently, hoping that you'll turn out to be a revolutionary of the order of Herminie Cadolle.

...coincidence that California, land of the experimental health regimen, was home to Judy Mazel's wildly successful 1981 best seller, The Beverly Hills Diet. An aspiring actress with no medical training, Mazel became frustrated in her quest to lose weight and invented her own program, which required eating fruit for 10 days and consuming just one type of food, such as carbs or proteins, at a time. Panned by health professionals, Mazel struck a chord with dieters who believed that self-educated people often know better than experts. In the '80s, Mazel, who said she lost...
