Quote:

"The country of the moment is Brazil * * * And yet Brazil's achievements are
vulnerable. To keep its
marvelous success on track, Brazil may have to do something that horrifies

by a third against the dollar in
the past year.  * * * The second force driving up the real is China.

(Minghua Zheng, 36, was killed by her husband Jamie A. Kuhne, 34)

My comment: If you are unwilling to register with the newspaper web site, go
ahead and search for news
with the names.

(3) USA Snapshots is an illustration for interesting statistics that appears
in the lower left corner of the
newspaper USA Today. There is no link to it. Today (Dec. 17, 2009), it is a
bar chart:

"World's top apple growers (in billions of pounds)

China 58.8
US 9.8
Turkey 5.25
Poland 5
Italy 4.4
