Only if business owners like my barber succeed will normality return to Gaza. Mohammed Telbani owns the largest factory in Gaza, making cookies and ice cream. But he can't get his raw materials and packaging through the Israeli embargo, and he can't send his finished products to the West Bank, where distributors have started buying cookies from Lebanon instead. "I've worked on creating that market for 30 years, and now it's gone," Telbani said. Gaza's beaches may be packed and its streets safe, but its factories are shut, and its stores have almost no customers...
...environmental arguments for reman are equally compelling. The amount of raw materials saved annually worldwide by remanufacturing is 14 million tons, according to a University of Bayreuth study, or enough to fill 230,000 railroad cars - that's a train 1,860 miles (3,000 km) long. And while current European Union regulations dictate that only 15% of an auto can wind up in a scrapyard, that percentage will drop to 5% in 2015 - a requirement that should boost the industry's growth, since remanufacturers need a steady supply of broken-down goods for the process to work efficiently...
...rough patch in the 1990s after the disastrous acquisition of Britain's Rover Group, but its fortunes have changed markedly since it ditched Rover in 2000. Production has increased steadily, and profits are buoyant. Pretax earnings last year rose 25%, to $5.5 billion, despite the soaring cost of raw materials and the strong euro. It has easily outpaced its historic rival, Mercedes (part of DaimlerChrysler), to become the leading premium-car brand. BMW is pushing a worldwide expansion. This spring it opened an assembly plant in India, and the company is building out a plant in Spartanburg, S.C., as part...
...Lockerbie attack is still a raw wound in the U.S.: Killing 189 American citizens, it was the deadliest terror attack on U.S. civilians until 9/11. The SCCRC report - issued just one day after staunch Bush ally Tony Blair stepped down as U.K. Prime Minister - may prove to be bad news for U.S.-British relations. The Scots' report pokes holes in evidence pieced together under the FBI-led investigation. "This was the first major international terrorist investigation where countries had to work together. This was a model," says Richard Marquise, the former FBI agent, now retired, who led the U.S. task...
...President and ex-presidential candidate [May 28]. You fell for his global-warming theory hook, line and sinker. Now you fawn over him with your article and his book excerpt. What about the noted scientists who say the global-warming theory is nothing but a load of methane-producing raw sewage? TIME, the rest of the media and all of Gore's Hollywood sycophants have got so far into this that it is inconceivable for them to think that the theory might be wrong. Why? Because it would make you all look like a bunch of fools. Then again...
