Already, some of the country’s largest companies, including General Electric and IBM, have announced that they will provide more transparency in their accounting. Others are expected to follow.

United held out at Old Trafford to win 2-1 and go five points clear of top-four rivals Liverpool in second place with eight Premier League games to play....

Surfers in the United States are also more likely to download music, and do it in much greater volume, according to Forrester Research. Most of the people sued last week had amassed huge music libraries.
