...vital for Kraft to be viewed as respectful of Cadbury's British values - especially in the U.K., the world's second largest candy market. But it needn't be unprofitable.

Not to be outdone, Caputo kept pace with his co-captain, beginning his day with a 7-2 victory. The decision moved the Crimson standout to 11-2 on the season...
...mayors and city council members across the nation to make the passage of a King-holiday bill part of their agenda. Singer Stevie Wonder became a prominent proponent and released the song "Happy Birthday" in 1980 - it became a rallying cry. He and Coretta went on to present a second petition to Congress, this one containing 6 million signatures of support. Their work finally paid off when the House passed the bill with a vote...
