While such old standbys as Dannon and Yoplait continue to feed most of the yogurt demand, offbeat yogurts--many of them made from different kinds of milk--have been popping up on gourmet and health-food store shelves. One longtime favorite of yogurt aficionados--the Greek-made Total, which has both cow's-milk and sheep's-milk varieties--was introduced in New York City ethnic groceries...

Perper told TIME that Bechler would have known from a medical exam three days before he died that he had borderline high blood pressure. Two years ago, Perper says, Bechler had a liver test that showed abnormal results. It's unclear whether Bechler consulted anyone before taking...
...Lula's predecessor, Fernando Henrique Cardoso. While the markets are now more cheerful about Lula, the PT's radical wing (more than a quarter of the party) seems devastated by his move to the center. They've groused especially loudly about Meirelles and Finance Minister Antonio Palocci, a physician who, as a PT mayor in the '90s, engineered a very unsocialist privatization of local utilities. Both men have pledged to adhere to strict economic targets that the International Monetary Fund set last year in return for a $30 billion loan to Brazil. Senator Heloísa Helena, part...
