...Both companies have been hobbled by poor quality and productivity for years, and Ford clearly spent huge sums to attempt to correct those problems. "Most of the hard work's over, the real painful things have been done, at Ford's expense," Nagley believes. All Tata needs to do is continue to spend the money needed to make Ford's investment pay off. Given that Tata is India's biggest conglomerate, cash shouldn't be a problem...
...able to obtain it. Even Shakespeare, with his now overused notion of soldiers as a "band of brothers," fails to capture the bonds, the sense of responsibility to each other, among soldiers.

...month after winning parliamentary elections, the party of Pakistan's slain former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto announced Saturday that its candidate for Prime Minister will be Yousaf Raza Gilani, a former parliamentary speaker and close aide to Bhutto, who spent four years in jail on allegations that he abused his authority during Bhutto's second term as premier in the 1990s. Pakistan's new parliament is set to vote on a Prime Minister Monday, with President Pervez Musharraf due to swear in the new premier Tuesday. Gilani's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) will form a government in coalition with...
