...Pharma's top priority right now is to refill its drug pipeline; $29 billion worth of patents are set to expire worldwide in the next two years. The industry can do that cheaply in China, where salaries for American-educated scientists are often half those of their Western counterparts. "Of course money plays a role in the decision to do business there," says Lee Babiss, head of global research at Swiss giant Roche, which invested more than $50 million in China last year. "But it's more about getting new, diverse blood into our labs...
...some weeks, Ian Jobson makes 20 types of Kit Kat at the big plant he oversees in the northern English city of York, the largest Kit Kat manufacturing operation in the world. Nestle installed $11 million worth of robots on the production line last year, and a new $1.6 million automated packaging machine is due to be installed this year. The number of people needed to staff the round-the-clock operation has been cut to 28 from 60. Jobson patrols the factory floor in his white coat and hairnet, soliciting ways to improve production.

Sixty-three percent of adults said in a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll that the war was “not worth fighting.” Perhaps this is because since 2004, when Spain withdrew, 3,374 Americans have died in Iraq (according to the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count, an independent Web site that tracks military deaths).

...estate, Saini took over as store manager. A few months later, however, it became clear that things were not going as Chen had hoped. In late March 2007, Chen took legal action against Saini for failing to make payment on a $130,000 loan and four months’ worth of rent. A Cambridge District Court judge has since handed a victory to Chen, who repossessed the store and is restocking and refurbishing the property. The store is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. temporarily, until he can extend his hours to stay open until...
