...feel like worldwide rock bands. There isn't a high school kid in America who cares that Led Zeppelin was British. Pink Floyd, as far as anyone here is concerned, come from outer space." The actual reasons for slumping British sales are a lot more complex: consolidation of record labels and radio stations, a stubbornly insular market and a commercial and artistic decline in the record industry as a whole. Says Levy: "With record sales down better than 10% in the last year, it's not just British artists that aren't selling in America." When the sales aren...
...FARC), the country's largest guerrilla army - has been branded a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department (as has the A.U.C., an umbrella group of vicious right-wing paramilitary armies, and a smaller leftist group known as the E.L.N.). Last week, Uribe convinced the U.N.

Quite apart from any potential health and environmental risks, forcing Zambia to accept genetically modified corn would cause its export economy to collapse: the E.U. would either refuse the corn altogether, or accept it, label it, and have consumers leave it on the shelf. And it’s not as if the U.S. was shipping Zambia the bargain-basement corn that nobody wanted—G.M. corn is more expensive for the U.S. to send than regular corn. If the farmers of Zambia grew...
