With 300 stores in Britain and 100 international outlets (all franchises) in Asia, Europe and Latin America, Topshop is looking to expand further overseas. Even after opening its biggest international store in Stockholm, Green says, Scandinavia still holds tremendous potential. But to grow much larger, Topshop will have to make some radical changes. Today, no matter where Topshop's smock dresses or miniskirts are stitched together--or where they're destined--they all pass through Britain. "The existing franchising model and supply chain would not work for significant global expansion, and will need to be adapted," Green says. To construct...
...rich Venezuela's left-wing President, Hugo Chavez, is the shock jock of international politics - as he demonstrated in the U.N. General Assembly last year, when he referred to President George W.

We can blanket the border with barbed wire, but little will change on the illegal immigration front until we convince Mexico and Latin America to break open their monopolistic economies and close their shameless gaps between rich and poor. Mexican migrants alone send home as much as $25 billion a year in remittances. Those are now Mexico's largest revenue source - and a cynical social safety valve for its government. Some in the U.S. Congress have suggested slapping a tax on those wire transfers...
...welcomed its first African-American player in seven years this season in designated hitter Andrew M. Prince ’10. The last was Peter N. Woodfork ’99, who now serves as the current assistant general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Though Harvard has had several Latin-American players in the past, Hispanics at the collegiate level account for even less of the national pie, at 4.3 percent...
