By Abbie VanSickle and Jim Tankersley The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a tax on foreign income over a challenge backed by business and anti-regulatory interests, declining their invitation to weigh in on a broader, never-enacted tax on wealth.

The Rio Tomebamba flows along the border between the historic...

By Mina Elwell When you’re planning to spend time away from home, one of the most important things you need to pack is your prescription medications. However, not all countries have the same regulations on medications, and depending on where you’re going, medications that you were given completely legally by a doctor in one country...
