Yes, it is time to improve relations with Brazil ("Why Condi's meeting with Lula matters," International Outlook, May 2). If not us, Hu. If not now, Wen.

No Cans Of Coke In Germany
It was interesting to see a photo with German Coca-Cola Co. (KO
) cans in "A cold shoulder for Coca-Cola" (European Business, May 2). After the German government passed a law in 2003 requiring a large deposit on soft drinks with carbonation sold in cans, Coca-Cola's German unit stopped production of all Coca-Cola products in cans more than a year ago. The picture you show in the magazine was probably not shot recently.
