...wary eye of police in armored vehicles, waving their fists and chanting their defiance in the face of an unyielding regime. This time, however, the ruling party is the African National Congress, which those same workers helped bring to power ?- and the protest signifies the end of the post-apartheid honeymoon between socialist-inclined big labor and their market-oriented allies in government. After seven months of bitter negotiations, the two sides have failed to agree on a wage increase for public-sector employees, and the unions on Tuesday mounted a one-day national strike as a warning shot...
...ahead of the curve, acting promptly to hold down inflation just like he said he would," says TIME senior economics reporter Bernard Baumohl. "But the markets had their rally Monday ?- and most of the time it?s ?buy on the rumor, sell on the news.?" But any bout of post-ratem profit-taking isn?t likely to last long -? after all, corporate earnings are coming soon (and looking promising).

...body from Red Square, you may want to convert his mausoleum into a McDonald's rather than try to knock it down. As Russia debates what to do with the bones of its first communist leader, his Bulgarian counterpart on Saturday got the last laugh on the country?s post-communist authorities. Georgi Dimitrov?s body was cremated shortly after the collapse of communism in 1990, but following a fierce national debate, the present government decided to finish the job by destroying his mausoleum in downtown Sofia. So with the city center sealed off and tens of thousands of Bulgarians...
