HJ Heinz Company: The Ketchup People

Walk into any diner in America and you’re likely to see his name on ketchup bottles on pickle jars. Henry J Heinz has been a part of American culture for more than a century. Heinz sold his products on every continent. He coined one of the most memorable lines in the history of advertising “57 varieties”. He was an obsessive genius, yet in an era of domineering bosses and robber barons Heinz motivated his employees with kindness. HJ Heinz was certainly an uncommon man devoted to his religion, his family and his pickles but not necessarily in that order.

Romanian nationalist wins first round

Hard-right eurosceptic George Simion has won the first round of Romania’s presidential election re-run, final results show, after a ballot seen as a test of the rise of Donald Trump-style nationalism in the European Union. Ballots from 100 per cent of voting stations showed Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan, 55, was in second place at around 21 per cent, behind Simion’s 41 per cent. They will meet in a runoff on May 18. A Simion victory could isolate the country, erode private investment and destabilise NATO’s eastern flank, where Ukraine is fighting a three-year-old Russian invasion, political observers say.
