...Sudan in 1962 and 1970; some even blamed the U.S. for Sudanese cancer cases. The revelation was contained in a transcript of a U.S. House of Representatives' hearing. But U.S. officials explained that there was an error in the document: the tests it referred to actually took place in "Sedan", the code name for a test site in Nevada...
...marketer to do if a much awaited product isn't quite ready to be shown off? Send customers to a "virtual showroom" instead, via their cell phones. That's what BMW did last month at the auto shows in Los Angeles and Detroit. With its redesigned 3-series sedan not yet ready for prime time (the vehicle is scheduled to hit U.S. showrooms in early summer), the German automaker handed out cards imprinted with a phone number.

They were members of Attawhid wal Jihad (Unity and Holy War), a militant group loyal to Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi, the most wanted terrorist in Iraq. The group's black flags flutter from the palm trees...
...sedan, which went on sale in the spring, is the hottest iron out of Chrysler in a generation. Beefy, brash, styled like a gangstermobile, it is resonating with urban hipsters, popping up in music videos and car-makeover magazines, tricked out with big wheels, lowered suspensions and interiors with mini-bars and reclining seats. Shaq owns one; so does Snoop Dogg. The top-end 300C features Chrysler's popular 340-h.p.
