In one corner is the artificial sweetener in the blue packet, Equal; in the other is its best-selling rival in the yellow packet, Splenda. The maker of Equal contends that Splenda has been misleading millions of consumers by fostering the notion, through television and print advertising, that Splenda is made from sugar and is natural. Splendaâs maker counters that the process to make the sweetener does indeed start with sugar. Next Monday, a lawsuit brought by the maker of Equal, Merisant, against Splendaâs maker, McNeil Nutritionals, is scheduled to go before a jury in Federal District Court in Philadelphia. At stake is leadership of the fiercely competitive $1.5 billion artificial sweetener market.
Julius Caesar. A great Roman general who has recently returned to Rome after a military victory in Spain. Julius Caesar is not the main character of the play that bears his name; Brutus has over four times as many lines, and the play does not show us Caesarâs point of view.
Julius Caesar, born Gauis Julius Caesar, was born on July 12, 100 BC in Rome to father and politician Gaius Caesar and mother Aurelia. Caesar grew up into a fairly wealthy political family and as such he was expected to follow tradition and enter politics.
