...have ideas for Coudreaut's team to appraise - the Angus burgers were co-developed with a group of California franchisees - and they often push back against odd-sounding creations like one of Coudreaut's failures, a breakfast Snack Wrap made with a crepe that held vanilla cream cheese and fruit. ("Why it didn't work is because we served it cold," Coudreaut says. "We serve hot food. Even our salads, we serve warm chicken on top.") The testing process is painstaking: it took two years for the Angus Third Pounders, the company's first new burger in eight years...
...while the spots boast of victories and progress, a rising chorus of voices across Mexico is complaining that the military approach to Mexico's crime problem is not bearing fruit. Leftists and human-rights groups have slammed the central role of the army and paramilitary police since President Felipe Calderón took office in 2006 and ordered 50,000 troops to fight the drug gangs.

The Dongria, who number about 8,000, believe that a planned bauxite mine in Niyamgiri threatens their way of life - and they are determined to fight it. This year...
...twentieth century, firms also played a gigantic role in deciding domestic policy and international resolutions. However, these decisions were made not infrequently against benevolent political ideologies. For example, the U.S. government supported the interests of the United Fruit Company in the massacre of Santa Marta in 1928. To promote the interest of the UFC, the U.S. instructed the Colombian president to comply with orders to forcibly increase worker productivity. Such examples abound from Latin America, Africa, and India. But you don’t need a history lesson in colonization...
