...pumped-up €54 billion stock and cash deal, effectively putting himself out of a job. But don't feel too sorry for him: Landau stands to make at least €10.5 million in severance and maybe twice as much once benefits and gains from stock options kick in. The disclosure caused a ruckus in France ; the UNSA union called it "organized racketeering with the firm's cash." Quizzed about the payout, Landau said it wasn't part of the deal with Sanofi and that he hadn't "had time to make the calculation" of its size. Heinz-Werner Meier...
...staying power of a trend that is sending tremors through the economic food chain. Not even December's mad-cow scare has put a dent in beef consumption. Pork bellies, which give us bacon, are trading at record high prices. Egg prices have hit a 20-year high.

The real test is how well its given set of character classes, equipment, magical items and foes hold up over countless stages of battle. Crystal Chronicles’ top-down gameplay has been compared to Diablo and Zelda, but is most reminiscent of Gauntlet, in which a small band of heroes roved endlessly across tidy little maps filled with monsters and treasure chests. Brilliantly, the countless skirmishes you’ll encounter reflect the turn...
...candy stores in New England. If you are having trouble finding authentic Italian baking ingredients—like hazelnut flour, Calabrese licorice or whole candied fruit for your Christmas panettone—look no further. And on the off chance that your favorite condiment isn’t in stock, Reilly will import it straight from Italy. Even the fudge flavors are rotated seasonally—it’s too late for pumpkin right now, but Reilly whispers in confidence, “strawberry will be coming in soon...
