But with the entire 27-nation European Union economy sliding .02% in the third quarter, and major industries such car manufacturing posting a combined 15% drop in sales last month, experts advise against viewing Europe's economic glass as anything but half empty, and leaking...
Fast food chains are notoriously cagey about telling consumers how their food gets from the field to the feedlot to the drive-thru window.

Just maybe, the thinking went, the severity of the crisis would force even American free-market fundamentalists to rethink their aversion to additional rules - especially to multilaterally binding measures enforced by international organizations. But since then, the lame-duck Bush Administration has signaled its opposition to any significant change to the current system of national regulations.
