...future growth lies in China, the U.S. market remains easily the most profitable. Even in the down-and-dirty beer business, the recent skirmishes between Miller and Bud have been notable for their aggressiveness. With more and more Atkins-conscious beer drinkers watching their waistlines and Anheuser's Michelob Ultra low-carb beer taking off, Miller launched ads in late 2003 pointing out that Miller Lite had half the carbs of Bud Light. Then, in April, Adami upped the ante with the humorous President of Beers campaign. Once it became clear that Miller's well-crafted messages were having...
...Arab prisoners in Kandahar. Watching him agonize over the ethics of his techniques provides rare insight into a process that, in the wake of Abu Ghraib, we urgently need to understand. This Man's Army (Gotham; 288 pages), by Andrew Exum, is a candid description of life in an ultra-hard-core Army Ranger unit in Afghanistan's Shah-e-Kot Valley, as well as a surprisingly thoughtful meditation on the philosophy of combat.

Last week the prince issued a written "clarification" in which he effectively apologized for his comments, but the furor has focused Japan's attention on its unhappy princess, a Harvard-educated former diplomat whose fairy-tale life has become a nightmare. "She is really just a doll in a doll case now," says Toshiya Matsuzaki, a magazine reporter who covers the royal family. "She cannot take advantage of her career experience...
...earliest—and most arousing—displays of commendable public outcry came far from Cambridge. Last December, a group of students followed Tom Hayden—the ultra-liberal ex-husband of Jane Fonda—to Miami on a trip funded by the Institute of Politics (IOP). The ostensible aims of the excursion were to observe a protest against the Fair Trade Agreement of the Americas and to “collect data.” However, the group’s innocuous observation quickly turned into active participation—and, unfortunately, involuntary detention...
