More on the Coke business: "Coke: The New Nike" by Michael Blanding at The Nation. There's also "India: soft drinks, hard cases" at Le Monde diplomatique by Vandana Shiva, which deals with Coke's--and Pepsi's as well--factories in India, and which may have a relation to what Blanding mentions in his article. (Note that Le Monde requires a paid subscription to read the entire article.)
