...still trails other products. For many years, German price sensitivity and fierce loyalty to domestic beer - just 3.3% of beer consumed in Germany last year was imported - functioned as a keep out sign for foreign brewers. As Coen Thönissen, from Dutch brewer Grolsch puts it: "The common wisdom was that beer in Germany isn't business. It's culture." That perceived impenetrability is evaporating. In 2001, Heineken entered into a joint venture with Munich-based Schörghuber Group to share control of BrauHolding (820 million liters), which brews, among other brands, Germany's No. 2 wheat beer...
...Bush may have already created the expectation among the Israelis (and soon, no doubt, among the Palestinians, too) that Washington will give them a hearing whenever they need one. But the onset of the Fall marks the beginning of the next U.S. presidential election season, which according to conventional wisdom is not a great time to be micromanaging a painfully tough and complex peace process.

Some doctors questioned the wisdom of the surgery, but the sisters insisted upon taking the chance to lead individual lives. (The twins were lawyers, but Laleh?the less outgoing of the two?wanted to become a journalist.) "Actually, we are opposites," Ladan said last month...
While these legacies are ostensibly intended to impart wisdom to heirs, the creators often find immediate benefits for themselves. "It was a tremendous growing experience," says Richard Hudson, 53, of Syracuse, N.Y. "You start really sharing your human weaknesses, and it is a challenge." He has already given scrapbooks to each of his two children, 27 and 24. Though Hudson realizes the contents carry no legal weight, he says they have begun to have an impact. "We've had a lot of insightful discussions," he says. "They caused a lot of emotions, tears and bonding." Still, Baines and others caution...
