...Leading the iPod-killer list is Sony's NW-HD3 Network Walkman, a player that attacks Apple at its stylishly minimalist core. Sony engineers understand that consumers want products that look as good as they sound, and the 20-GB NW-HD3 reflects that with its slim, anodized-aluminum casing.

Already some wealthy Russian oligarchs have jumped into Ukraine's market. They include Oleg Deripaska of the aluminum group Rusal, which has acquired Ukraine's Mykolayiv alumina refinery, and Mikhail Fridman of Alfa Group, which has an oil refinery in the country. The trick for Ukraine's new government is to keep such momentum going and build on it. The events of the past few months have "created...
