...built. For now, Reliance plans to buy mostly from farmers located within a couple of hours of major cities to shorten transport times. The company will build up its own fleet of trucks, but will also outsource some of its transport needs. Eventually, trucks will be fitted with radio or satellite transmitters that will allow a central control room to track locations and cargo-a far cry from the bullock carts and rusty trucks that currently link producers and customers.

Critics of President Hugo Chavez warn that when the smoke clears, the television landscape will be largely bereft of independent...
...clouds continued to rise, the situation got worse still. According to radio traffic, Doug Hansen had collapsed, and Hall--who knew better than to linger near the top of the mountain in weather so ominous--was staying to help him. Five of Hall's other clients, including Weathers, had turned back. Where they were now no one knew. Guides Fischer and Harris were unaccounted for too. In all, 19 of the 33 people who had set out for Everest's top 16 hours earlier were stuck outside...
