...illegal activities. But according to the report, some of these cigarette factories are directly owned by North Korea's military and the internal-security service, giving the state "total control" over these operations. In other cases, says the report, the North's contribution is primarily to provide a "safe haven" to factories run by overseas counterfeiting syndicates. Three of the factories that are said to be located in the Rajin area on the northeast coast of North Korea are allegedly run or financed by crime syndicates from Taiwan. One of these factories, equipped with second-hand equipment from China...
...HAVEN, Conn.—It was an inauspicious start to a four-game Ivy road swing, as the Harvard men’s basketball team fell to Yale 82-74 Friday night at the John J. Lee Amphitheater. After Bulldogs point guard Chris Andrews hit two free throws to forge a 72-57 lead, the Crimson (10-6, 2-1 Ivy) scored the next seven points to pull within eight.

Another senior board member says: "I can't envision myself, or for that matter any other board member, reporting to a high school dropout - however charming and sympathetic - on crucial business decisions." Sentiments like this haven't stopped Athina from launching a charm offensive in tandem with her legal moves. One aim seems to be to soothe any Greek feelings she may have injured in her youthful rejection of her origins. Last year she and Doda joined an equestrian club 20 miles east of Athens, with...
...Schumer. Most worried of all is Stephen S. Roach, chief economist at U.S. investment bank Morgan Stanley who for several years has warned that the U.S.'s borrowing and consumption binge will come to a bad end, including a likely fall in the value of the dollar. The problems haven't gone away even if the dollar remains buoyant, he said, warning of a "dangerous degree of complacency" among investors. "The weakest link in the global growth chain in 2006 is the most important link, and that is the American consumer," Roach cautioned. If the economy does continue...
