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.
Commissioned by Cleopatra. Gaius Julius Caesar was born to an aristocratic family. His parents were Gaius Julius Caesar and Aurelia. Julius was born on July 13th, 100 BC for whom the month of July is named. During the early years of his career, Caesar identified himself politically with the Populares Party (See Marius), which opposed the Senatorial nobility.
