...spice market is worth about $1 billion at retail and is dominated by McCormick, which is also based in Baltimore. TSP has four full-time employees to McCormick's 8,000, so no one is mistaking Luber and Engram as a threat to the titan, whose annual global sales are $3 billion. TSP is hoping for sales on the order of $2 million to $2.5 million in 2008. "It's as if they're the elephant and we're the fly," says Engram...
...open--nay, brazen--about his desire to make more money, and lots of it. Dennis, the founder in 1995 of the bawdy "lad" magazine Maxim (which he sold last year with two smaller publications for a reported $240 million), is from the "greed is good" school of business.

Walling Off Mexico Re your Mexico-U.S. border fence story: There's another aspect worth examining [June 30]. The illegals come to the U.S. seeking employment.

Besides coughing out guest verses for seemingly anyone who asked, he sometimes recorded three songs in a night and gave them away on the Internet minutes later...
...slavery was wrong, was it worth fighting a war to destroy it? Twain seems to have thought so. Indeed, his underappreciated short story A Trial may be viewed as a justification for the Civil War. A Trial tells of a ship's captain who dotes on his first mate, a black man. The ship docks at an island, where Bill Noakes, the self-proclaimed toughest man on the island, charges on board and demands to fight the captain, who promptly dumps him into the water. The next night, the same thing occurs. A week later, evidently enraged by his humiliation...
