...regulatory palliatives are likely to be only temporary stopgaps. The region is awash in cheap diet aids manufactured in largely unregulated Chinese factories. Classified by many countries as "health food"?rather than as pharmaceutical products, which must pass rigorous safety tests before they can be marketed?the concoctions are readily imported and sold in Asian pharmacies and natural-medicine shops, even in beauty parlors and spas. Indeed, Asians tend to trust Chinese medicines as natural and safe dietary shortcuts based on 3,000 years of trial and error. Ancient Chinese apothecaries, however, never treated obesity. Lacking a time-tested herbal...
...church scandal was as much about complicit Cardinals as about wayward priests; the FBI field agents did their job, but their careerist bosses stuffed all the clues into their desk drawers. As for the CEOs, they raid company coffers to pay off margin calls or build new mansions; awash in options, they manage the stock price instead of the company; as their business falls into bankruptcy and the layoffs pile up, they float away on golden parachutes--or yachts bought with company loans.

Now that South Korea's can-do football team has battled its way to the semifinals, the nation is awash in feel-good vibes and a newfound sense of national unity. All that is rubbing off on Chung. The latest polls give him 15% in a race with the two main presidential candidates?and he hasn't even said he's running yet. Says Lee Nae Young, an expert on Korean...
...Strangely, moreover, in a country awash with guns, the boot camp is having difficulty obtaining weapons for training. Requests must go through the Ministry of Defense, the turf of Mohammad Qasim Fahim, who boasts a personal army of at least 18,000 men. In the run up to the loya jirga?an assembly to select a transitional government?current ministers are looking to shore up their own power. Fahim's support comes from his private troops, not the country's. To him, their needs take precedence, so the ANA must make do with only partially filled orders for gear. "Supporting...
