We must applaud the New York Times (and Felicity Barringer, again) for good environmental reporting.  In this case, special thanks for their keeping up the wall between the journalists and the folks who have the tough job of running the business side of the newspaper.   Reporting on the questionable practices and actions of a company as powerful and advertising-heavy as Coca Cola is likely going to cost the newspaper something, somehow.
