...food person to eat it," says General Mills CEO Steve Sanger. Yoplait had to convince Americans that they would love its signature creamy texture, but it also had to keep its marketing from diving too deeply into the froufrou. Mills positioned Yoplait's brand, with a wink and a nod, around French culture and used marketing techniques equally foreign to the early '80s such as hot-air balloons and vans parked at marathons for tastings. "'Real Americans,' guys like Jack Klugman and Tommy Lasorda, would eat this stuff with a skeptical look and then burst into French extolling its virtues...
...John Paul may very well get the nod even faster, especially if all the prayers have a say. On Friday evening, the new pope encouraged young people in Krakow to continue their ritual of praying for John Paul's sainthood the second day of every month, at the hour of his death, saying that the ritual "supports those working on his Cause." Benedict told the crowd Saturday in the central square of Wadowice that he will be praying that John Paul's sainthood comes "soon."

...where it really counts, the mood music is scratchy. "Blair should've gone out on a high and given Brown a chance to make his mark, whereas now we're left with this crappy infighting," says Neil Pennill, an information-technology worker in London, whose colleagues, dining with him, nod in agreement.

Voters think he stretched the case for war beyond what the evidence could bear - and the failure to find any weapons of mass destruction, plus the continuing mess...
...over time, it has served as a powerful instrument for assimilating newcomers into Catalan society. Every morning this past week, I have dressed my 14-month-old baby in her Barça tracksuit, earning her approving cheers from my Latino neighbors as she waddles down the street. I nod, proudly and smugly. (O.K., some Americans do inherit their fandom.) The same emotions course through me as I consider how a Barça victory would confirm so much: they play the most attractive football in recent memory; Ronaldinho is a player for the ages; once...
...Bren of his $11.4 million brainchild. A collaboration between Munich-based architects Niki Szilagyi and Evi M?rklstetter, the Mavida comprises 47 sparse but tasteful rooms, each with open granite showers, private balconies and widescreen views of the Alps. Public areas are appointed in muted tones and the only real nod to traditional Alpine gem?tlichkeit is a classy, glass-enclosed fireplace. But if decor isn't a draw, the restorative qualities of the Mavida's indoor swimming pool and spa should prove a near irresistible lure to day-trippers and holidaymakers flocking to the area for its year-round skiing. There...
