...sacrifices they make for their families. But while children whose mothers are nurses in Canada or housekeepers in Hong Kong often go to good private schools and have MP3 players, there is a growing sentiment that trading global dollars for a generation raised on cell-phone minutes is a raw deal. Carandang, who works with families of migrant workers, named her most recent book after one boy's lament for his mother working as a caregiver in the Middle East: "The light of the home is gone...
...jarring to see where a drug like heparin begins. Liu Jing, a cheerful 36-year-old, is stomping around in pig poop and mud in knee-high boots. He is a farmer in Jiangsu province, north of Shanghai, where providing the raw ingredients for heparin is a big business. Liu's farm produces a key source of heparin: pig intestines. (Heparin is derived from the mucous membranes in the intestines.) Nearly half the world's pigs are in China, so companies like SPL have set up shop. In SPL's case, it first began buying raw heparin in 1996, established...
Farmers like Liu sell to small-scale companies--often family-run businesses--that process the intestines into crude heparin, which in turn becomes the key ingredient for the heparin that Baxter and other major drug firms sell worldwide. SPL's CEO, David Strunce, told Congress last spring that the raw material comes from "government-regulated slaughterhouses." But that regulation, farmers in Jiangsu told TIME, is haphazard at best. And if the slaughterhouses are haphazardly regulated, the small heparin-processing businesses--hundreds of them across the country--are virtually unregulated. "We haven't ever had the government come and inspect...
...restrictions of the sonnet are restrictions meant to be overcome. The interactions between theater and life also occupies a central place in this universe. Étienne spent 10 years working on the French experimental theater scene, and she seems to have taken from it an appreciation for the raw emotions of the stage along with the viewpoint that all of our lives are performances. In one poem about a day on the road, she writes: “Costumes that one irons, hangs up on hangers. / Scenery one dismantles and hacks up with an axe. / Mirrors without reflections. / There...
...Japanese-style restaurant recently opened on Eliot Street:1. Early means on-time, and on-time means a half-hour wait. I had heard nothing about Shabu Square when I decided to write them up, but the concept sounded like a great time: traditional shabu-shabu is thinly sliced raw beef and vegetables that are swished in a pot of tableside, simmering broth and then dunked in ponzu, a sesame-based sauce. Fun, right? And right here in Harvard Square. So I invited lots of friends and made a reservation for 10 at 7 p.m. Four of us walked...
