...Zander has a bold vision, one that focuses on the next decade's hot new country rather than the next quarter's hot new product. Even as Motorola continues to develop high-end phones, he is pushing the company to go after the lowest end of the spectrum: a sub-$40 phone aimed at farmers and the striving urban masses in India, several nations in Africa and, to a lesser extent, China. But he doesn't want to sell just cheap phones; he wants to transform those markets into a new base of customers for every product the company sells...
...well with each other,” DeAngelis said. “We practice covering the passing lines and our two middle players, Devon Shapiro and Francine Polet, did a great job of keeping everything organized for us.” Harvard finishes the 2005 campaign with a disappointing sub-.500 overall record and sub-.500 league mark. The team will hold an awards banquet in December to cap off the year, honor this year’s seniors, and reveal the captains who will lead the 2006 edition of Harvard field hockey. Princeton won the Ancient Eight with...
Officially, the French state doesn't recognize minorities, only citizens of France, all of them equal under the law. But that republican ideal has seemed especially hollow over the past week as the children of impoverished, largely Muslim immigrants from the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa fought running battles with police throughout the banlieues, or suburbs, to the east and north of the French capital.

...often poor countries end up subsidizing rich ones. Case in point: the accelerating brain drain out of Africa of highly skilled medical personnel to fill higher-paying positions in Europe and North America. A report in 2004 found that more than 5,300 doctors who attended medical schools in sub-Saharan Africa--almost entirely at public expense--now practice in the U.S. (An additional 3,500 or so are working in Britain.) An editorial in last week's New England Journal of Medicine called this exodus "a silent theft from the poorest countries" and estimated that African nations...
...years, America has dished out enough oppression to go around. Much of it has been strikingly similar. The anti-miscegenation laws that were enacted in much of the South were rooted in interpretations of the Bible. Interracial intimacy was seen as unnatural. Blacks were put forth as filthy sub-humans who wanted to muddy white bloodlines and thus destroy the goodness of the white race. Race mixing was akin to bestiality. Sound familiar? "Defenders" of marriage, from Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum to Justice Antonin Scalia to Pope Benedict, have tossed out arguments just like these in their quest to keep...
