...recent example of absurd University intransigience was its refusal last month to adopt a code explicitly promising not to discriminate against gay students. The Faculty Council was unable to find evidence of discrimination. What the Council did do was inform a large—and repeatedly harrassed—segment of the University population that the administration is unconcerned about their situation.

Dairy groups in Europe, where probiotics are well established, see the segment as a major driver of growth over the next few years. "Yoplait will understand the success of Activia and follow soon," says Dannon CEO Juan Carlos Dalto.
