...prosecutors in the Google case, however, said the verdict highlights the fact that certain values should endure regardless of technological innovation. "We are very satisfied, because by means of this trial we have posed a serious problem: that is to say, the protection of human beings, which must prevail over corporate interests," they said in a statement. Marco Bardazzi, a senior editor at the Torino daily La Stampa and co-author of a recent book about the Internet revolution, said the Italian case could mark a symbolic crossroads for Google, which was founded with the mission statement...

But, as the Haiti disaster has demonstrated, the main problem is not raising enough money; rather, it is making sure that donated goods arrive in an efficient manner. Harvard should facilitate finding solutions to fundamental problems like this, as well as aiding with temporary relief efforts.

Mayors in cities where other Quick restaurants have gone halal say the move provoked no problem or debate. Socialist politicians say Vandierendonck's theatrics are of a type with the divisive grandstanding they accused conservatives of using in the recent identity debate. Many French commentators note that fast-food diners can't tell whether the meat they're eating is halal, kosher or blessed by voodoo priests unless they're specifically told - making the beef over halal burgers seem a tad overdone. French KFC affiliates mostly buy halal-slaughtered birds, but there has been no controversy about that...
