POPSOne Company's Toxic Agenda or Our Poisonous Way of Life? Marie-Monique Robin's "The World According 
Both text and film are extraordinary models of investigative reporting, each comprising chilling and compelling indictments of a company with a long history of producing varieties of poison. I have no doubt that had a human individual, rather than a multinational corporation, been responsible for the death, suffering and destruction Marie-Monique Robin documents, the International Criminal Court and other jurisdictions around the world would be clamoring for that person's head. Yet, Monsanto continues to operate so much more freely than the disguised Radovan Karadzic. Only last week The Independent reported that Gordon Brown and other European leaders are secretly planning to promote GMO food - 90 percent of which is produced by Monsanto - over the objections of their own populations.

POPSCycling Champs Can't Find A Sponsor What's even more interesting than Tailwind's inability to find a sponsor is the continued willingness of other corporate sponsors to associate themselves with a sport that has been so engulfed by drug scandals. For example, Deutsche Telekom recently decided to proceed with its sponsorship of a T-Mobile cycling team through 2010. Professional cycling must attract a pretty affluent consumer demo for companies to stick it out this long. - Louis Hau
