Beijing  Executions over tainted milk: Two dairy executives were put to death in China this week for selling contaminated milk that killed six babies and sickened hundreds of thousands of children last year. Authorities said Zhang Yujun and Geng Jinping sold more than 3 million pounds of powdered milk laced with melamine, a chemical additive that creates the appearance of higher protein levels. Nineteen others convicted in connection with the contamination received lesser punishments. The scandal, which broke last summer, panicked Chinese parents and crippled China’s dairy industry, leading to the recall of Chinese milk products across the globe.
