...confidential memos, Jackson's lawyers showed how Gallo executives, pressured by their demanding chairman Ernest Gallo, took careful aim at the leader of the popularly priced Chardonnay market. Gallo launched its new wine directly at Kendall-Jackson, propelled by a $10 million advertising blitz and enough consumer surveys to fuel a presidential campaign...
...agreement Monday that will create a single citizenship for residents of both republics and unify their foreign and economic policies. Faced with a shattered economy that makes Russia's look robust, Lukashenko has pushed for integration with Russia, which in any case supplies Belarus with everything from cheap fuel to tractor parts.

Most Albanians believe that Berisha was in cahoots with the operators who ran the pyramid swindles...
Northeast eventually made the fuel-pool cooling-system changes Galatis demanded, but the NRC rejected his plea for it to suspend the company's license, insisting that "the relative safety significance" of the fuel-pool issue "is low," a conclusion disputed by a host of industry-watchdog engineers. The "pervasive noncompliance" that Galatis uncovered, the agency admitted, did pose a potential threat to public safety. The NRC informed Galatis in December that its long-term shutdown of Millstone "constitutes a partial grant of the petitioner's requests." The agency is delaying a decision on enforcement actions until the U.S. Attorney...
