Al Lewis describes all the missteps and bad decisions by H-P's board in his view-from the hiring and exit of CEO Carly Fiorina, Patricia Dunn illegal spying scandal, firing of Mr Hurd, to the hiring of Mr Apotheker from software maker SAP, the $1.2 billion Palm acquisition, the dumping of the TouchPad at the first sign of struggling sales, to the $10 billion overpayment for British software maker Autonomy which has grown mainly through acquisitions and not by major advances in its software.

India's Supreme Court ruled that Vodafone PLC does not owe $2.2 billion in taxes on the acquisition of a majority stake in Hutchison Essar Ltd. The Indian tax authorites were directed to return 25 billion rupees ($500 million) which Vodafone had deposited. With declining foreign investment in India and a lower growth rate of about 7%, this tax case had assumed larger significance. The Supreme Court decision emphasized that taxing Vodafone "would amount to imposing capital punishment for capital investment." Vodafone had difficulties in its Indian operations- a $3.4 billion impairment charge in May 2010 because of strong competition. Vodafone is estimated to have invested $26 billion in India since 2007, and in the fiscal year ending March 2011 showed only $115 million in profit on sales of $3.86 billion.

Ko Bo Kyi spent years in prison after protests over the army annulling Burma's 1990 elections. Pages of a magazine article on Mandela's autobiography were smuggled into Burma's Insein prison where he was jailed. A song about Mandela sustained Kyi and fellow prisoners in prison. He escaped to Thailand in 1999 after a second prison term and quickly obtained a copy of Mandela's "Long Walk to Freedom."

Prof. Lasson of the law school at the University of Maryland, teaches civil liberties. He provides perspective on the situation in Baltimore by giving a brief history of the city, and going over the history of Catholics, Jews and black people in the city as they struggled to assert their rights. Thurgood Marshall did not apply to the University's law school because he feared he would not be accepted. He went on to be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1967. The 1857 Dred Scott decision before the Civil War was written by Roger Tany, who was from Baltimore. Maryland was a slave state before 1865. The law library at the law school of the University of Maryland now has Marshall's name.

Competing models from Suzuki and other manufacturers have better acceleration for highways and are more durable than the Tata Nano or its successor the Tata Twist. The Tata Twist is pricd at $400,twice the price of the Nano, and has features such aspower steering. The small engine with power closer to that of a motorcycle is a serious handicap for the Nano concept, as buyers are looking for more power on Indian highways. The Tata Nano sold as low as 5000 cars in Nov. 2013, with the 250,000 capacity of the Nano plant in Gujarat remaining unutilized.
