Companies must fight for balance between greenmailers, growth

The biggest feature of this year's crop of annual shareholders' meetings — which came on the heels of May's removal of the ban on triangular mergers — was the move to install defensive measures against so-called greenmailers, the corporate interlopers who chase after short-term profits.

Hypocrisy doesn't apply to all

Regarding Florian Coulmas' July 9 article, "Act of missionary hypocrisy": It is not the American government, per se, that is calling on the Japanese government to acknowledge the pain suffered by the "comfort women."
