...base - which the company says it has lost over the past decade - Denny's has created something called the Allnighter program. From 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., the chain has started playing alternative-rock music. It has sponsored more than 30 emerging bands - they get free meals while on tour - and organized late-night meet and greets, and occasional jam sessions, with the musicians in the restaurants. The servers wear casual black T shirts instead of buttoned-up uniforms. Denny's has also just introduced four new late-night menu items, each priced between $3 and $4. These include...

...June 2008 report by the South African Medical Journal. In 2007, East London's Daily Dispatch newspaper revealed that poor maternity care at the city's Frere Hospital was resulting in around 200 stillborn babies every year - and that the corpses were being buried in mass paupers' graves. A tour of Mthatha General Hospital suggests conditions as grim: paint peels from rotten ceilings, the floors are filthy and in the casualty department, an old woman lies slumped in her wheelchair in a lake of urine...
