The Snow Bird floats unremarkably, moored by thick blue ropes to Pier 10 in Canton, its engine rumbling softly and thin white plumes wafting from its smokestack. Up the gangway to the main deck of the red, white and yellow 313- foot cargo ship, floor plans, anti-littering signs and maritime- related water-color prints adorn the walls of the dimly lit corridors. Bananas rest next to the flatware in the mess rooms. Crew members hose down the deck or watch "Casos de Familia" on a fuzzy Univision channel in the lounge.
The cargo ship looks unexcep-tional, but one of the containers stacked on deck contains a nuclear bomb. Terrorists are not sure whether the untested device will detonate. However, that does not really matter.
S. Customs and Border Protection inspectors seized a six- legged fugitive this week in Florida without incident, taking a long- horned giant harlequin beetle into custody as the critter scampered across the deck of a cargo ship at the Port of Miami.

Police condemned the looting as despicable, but said they had no grounds for arresting the scavengers.
The enforcement of arbitration agreements involving non-signatories is an issue that draws the attention of practitioners and academia alike. There are two interesting precedents from Brazilian courts on this interesting (and potentially dispositive) issue. In Trelleborg v. Anel, the Sao Paulo State Court of Appeals (Appeal no. 267.450.4/6-00, 7th Chamber of Private Law, Reporting Justice Constanca Gonzaga, May 24, 2006), in a unanimous decision, enforced an agreement to arbitrate against a non-signatory based on its active participation and interest in the negotiations of the agreement out of which the dispute arose. The court found that the parent company's "active participation," "clear involvement" and "interest in the outcome" of the acquisition negotiations required its participat...
