...proud." Given the country's interfaith harmony, mineral riches, abundant natural resources and a once-vaunted educational system that boasted the first university in sub-Saharan Africa, Kabbah's promise to return it to its past glory seems less quixotic than Sierra Leone's current war-scarred state would suggest. Age, says the 70-year-old widower, is no impediment to his plans, but money is. That is why, when he addresses the U.N. General Assembly in New York next month, he'll be making a special plea for funding for the TRC. Peace, like war, doesn't come cheap...
...getting out of the commodity milk-production business and focusing on expanding distribution and developing new products. Horizon recently introduced single-serving puddings, as well as milk boxes, which Starbucks carries. But even as its volume grows and production costs fall, Horizon won't be cutting prices. "Our data suggest a consumer tolerance for price premiums," says CEO Chuck Marcy. His pitch to supermarkets: "Take out your third- or fourth-selling brand of sour cream or cottage cheese, sell our product and make 30% to 40% more on the margins. That resonates." Horizon's stock is also resonating. Since January...
That Israelis and Palestinian are even talking about a "Gaza-first" cease-fire plan is a sign of growing despair on both sides.

...Eliezer and his allies will want strong U.S. involvement in the new truce initiative, but Rumsfeld's remarks suggest that an influential faction within the Bush administration sees no value in being drawn anew into directly mediating the conflict. And despite's Sharon's reported endorsement of the proposal, Ben-Eliezer himself speaks only for a faction of the Israeli government. Then there's the PA, internally divided over the plan even as its political authority on the Palestinian Street continues to diminish. To call the Gaza-first plan a long-shot is no understatement. But its advocates will likely...
...tentative reforms could start the sclerotic state on the capitalist road, just as China embarked on economic modernization in the '70s. "The fact that they are tackling the issue and starting to make these changes is significant," says David Morton, head of the World Food Program in Pyongyang. Skeptics suggest North Korean leader Kim Jong Il may be adjusting prices to curb the flourishing black market. A more plausible explanation: persistent food shortages and the need to import fertilizer, fuel and other commodities make it imperative that North Korea develop a functioning economy. The hermit country seems at last...
