Hershey, which makes candy under such brands as Hershey, Reese's, Kit Kat, Bliss, Twizzlers and Ice Breakers, has long been touted as an ideal partner for Cadbury. A marriage would combine the Hershey, Pa., company's dominant position in the U.S. candy market with Cadbury's stellar role overseas to create an international powerhouse.

To attempt to elaborate any more of the characters, plot, themes, or images would be both futile and unfair, as any intelligible explanation would also spoil the ending. Only one thing is apparent from almost beginning to end: Oscar season has arrived. —Staff...
...just as business is going to have a role, there are going to be some things that only government can do, and there will be some things that only individuals and parents can do themselves. And we can have the best science and math training programs in the world, the best sponsors in the world, but if parents aren't telling their kids to turn off the video box and go do some work...
