...duty-free access to the U.S. textile market must buy American fabrics. The cost of buying and then shipping the fabric to Africa would be so prohibitively expensive that only the largest companies could afford to do so. Indeed, the most likely scenario is that textile factories currently using cheap labor in Asia will move to Africa, which would offer even cheaper labor as well as duty-free access to the U.S. market...
...Still, the rise of the MP3 format seems to have inspired a move towards a mix-and-match approach to music, which means compilations and DJ mix albums are probably going to be increasingly popular in the U.S. and will lose the K-Tel cheap-and-awful stigma. For instance, Essential Selections, one of the major British DJ mix labels, announced that they're starting to release mix albums in the U.S. My question is, how come American compilations ("Total Hits '99," etc.) are designed to look so much uglier than their glitzy British equivalents, even if the quality...

A state that is willing to pay any price to recruit talented and knowledgeable prosecutors but refuses to commit resources towards the defense does not have a justice system worthy of the name. The bill would provide strong incentives to states to create and maintain a peer-reviewed list...
Though environmentalists are raising loud alarms about the dangers of a genetically modified "super salmon," continued overfishing and increasing demand for cheap protein sources probably mean its advent is inevitable. An American firm is reported to have developed genetically modified (GM) salmon that grows 10 times faster than normal farm-raised varieties, according to a BBC report, a development that could cut the cost of raising salmon by more than half...
