Lafarge is by no means alone. Franz-Josef Ulm, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a concrete expert, says "there's not one single cement company that is not looking at" ways to improve the resistance of concrete.

...Josef Joffe, Professor at Stanford, wrongfully insinuates in the article "Gloat at Your Peril" that the E.U. indulges in schadenfreude about the U.S. financial crisis [Oct. 20]. We all know what the global economy is about. Would anyone be stupid enough to ignore the fact that the entire human body suffers if just one organ gets sick? Helmar W. Kühn, FRANKFURT, GERMANY...
