A woman looks at magazines displayed at a kiosk in Zurich March 16 , 2015. One of Switzerland's two big supermarkets, Coop, is to stop selling titles such as German magazine Der Spiegel, the German-language edition of Vogue and a Mickey Mouse comic because it says local distributors have not cut prices after a currency surge.
