...With its narrow, winding roads dotted with horse-drawn buggies and signs for homemade quilts, candles, jams and jellies, Pennsylvania's Amish country in Lancaster County attracts millions of tourists each year. But giant billboards along a main highway call attention to a less appealing local industry. "WELCOME TO LANCASTER ... HOME TO 100'S OF PUPPY MILLS," reads one sign. It was paid for by Last Chance for Animals, a national animal-advocacy organization that opposes commercial breeding facilities where hundreds of puppies are raised in cramped metal cages without proper food, veterinary care and often even fresh...

Even Carlos Ghosn, chief of Nissan, the automotive turnaround story of the decade, is experiencing a sales slump, and the company...
...similar house with large side doors "so the interior feels like it's spilling outside," he says. The Shot Trot retains the shotgun's basic shape but replaces its railroad-style rooms with an airier, more open-plan layout. Just 16 ft. by 80 ft., it's perfect for narrow inner-city lots. And to cut cost and complexity, it uses standard component sizes, like 4-ft.-by-8-ft. plywood sheets...
