...arms were digitally removed from photographs taken at the Bayreuth Festival - backfired when the unretouched photo was widely published. And then, in a live television interview in July, Merkel confused net and gross wages when calculating how her plans to cut nonwage costs would affect the cost of labor in Germany. Her Bavarian ally Edmund Stoiber, who lost to Schröder in the 2002 election, is not helping matters. He lashed out at eastern German voters, who could tip the election. Stoiber regretted that "not all parts of the German population are as clever as Bavarians" and said...

Cows, goats and sheep can be thrown into estrus--readiness for pregnancy--by giving them a hormone shot. Not dogs. "You have...
...Maytag's competitors in Asia can take advantage of cheaper labor costs, but LG's and Samsung's real advantage is quality: $1,000 washing machines compete with the best ones from GE and Whirlpool. "They're really competing on products, not price," says Eric Bosshard, an analyst at FTN Midwest. Maytag has been slow to keep up; its last new front-loading washer debuted in 1997.
