...suit American tastes, Bionade is contemplating adding new flavors, like cranberry. But the major hurdle is just getting the drink on store shelves. To do that, the company will likely have to pair up with a major distributor, like Starbucks or Anheuser-Busch, which seems anathema to a company that has marketed itself as an idealistic small-town enterprise. After all, it was multinational corporations that almost put the brewery out of business in the first place. Timothy Calkins, clinical professor of marketing at the Kellogg School of Management at Chicago's Northwestern University, cautions: "The key challenge on growth...
...justice and equality. Even the timing of the execution appeared to be a deliberate affront to Iraqi Sunnis, as Saddam was hung minutes before the start of the Sunni holy festival of Eid. The result of the fiasco at the gallows is that across the Sunni world, Saddam, once anathema even to most Sunnis, is rapidly being transformed into a martyr who courageously stood up to a vengeful Shiite majority.

Collins has both; Dawkins has neither...

Wellman did supposedly offer the role eventually taken by Jean Harlow in The Public Enemy, but Brooks says she turned it down. Instead, she made a Grade-Z short, Windy Riles Goes Hollywood, directed by the disgraced Fatty Arbuckle, then made a few more furtive, insultingly small appearances in movies. Sometimes her scenes were cut out of the film. She ended her career staring up at Wayne in Overland Stage Raiders and seemingly out of her element, her refeened voice clashing with the homey cliches...
