...time he reached his Boston town house at 10 that night, Kerry was livid. He gathered Cahill, communications director Stephanie Cutter, press secretary David Wade and traveling chief of staff David Morehouse in the messy fourth-floor office where he keeps his most precious Vietnam mementos, including a picture of his friend Dick Pershing, from whom he had been inseparable in prep school and college and who had been killed in a rice paddy by a Vietcong grenade. "Every time they attack what I did on those rivers, they attack people who are not alive to defend themselves," Kerry thundered...
...forcefully rejected its provision for a de facto veto power over any new constitution by organized minorities such as the Kurds or the Shiites. For the same reason, Iraq's Kurdish parties, who want to maintain the de facto autonomy verging on independence of their region, are livid, and have warned that they may boycott next January's election if their autonomy is not recognized. The possibility of Shiite-Kurdish conflict is growing, but the transfer of sovereignty makes finding a solution to such a conflict increasingly a purely Iraqi problem...
...Democratic Party is also livid. Because the county lost control of the timetable, opponents did indeed have time to file for upcoming races. Attorney General Myers and two of the Multnomah commissioners, Rojo de Steffey and Naito, are now embroiled in contested races. So is Supreme Court Justice Rives Kistler, the only openly gay high-court judge in the U.S., who was unopposed before March 3.

...hard to imagine getting overheated about a chain of uninhabited rocks in the East China Sea. But a Japanese activist last week crashed a bus through the gates of the Chinese consulate in Osaka, livid about the mainland's claim of sovereignty over the DIAOYU ISLANDS. The Diaoyus?known in Japan as the Senkakus?have been under Japanese control for more than a century, but feuds still rage over who owns them. In March, Chinese nationalists planted a flag on Diaoyu soil; their subsequent arrest by the Japanese navy led to furious demonstrations in Beijing, with Chinese protesters burning Japanese...
Abbott’s actions have angered not just AIDS activists; other big name pharmaceutical companies–like Bristol-Myers Squibb and GlaxoSmithKline–are also livid. These companies produce AIDS drugs that must be combined with Norvir for optimal efficacy, so the Norvir price increase effectively raises the cost of their drugs as well. But Abbott has declined to pass along the Norvir price hike to its own combination drug, Kaletra (which is pre-boosted with Norvir), thereby undercutting its competitors. A savvy business move? Certainly. Kaletra will doubtless gain increased market share as higher Norvir prices...
