Benedetta Ciaccia, 30, an Italian-born business analyst, was among thousands of commuters on the way to work on July 7 as suicide bombers blew themselves up on three London Underground trains and a bus. Her friends and relatives have not heard from her since, and she was not among the 47 victims who had been positively identified nine days later. "We're still waiting," Fiaz Bhatti, Ciaccia's fiancé, told TIME last week. During the wait, scores of police, medical and forensic experts were engaged in the grim but necessary task of trying to establish the identity...

Springs was started in 1887 by Bowles' great-great-grandfather Samuel Elliott White and great-grandfather Leroy Springs. Her father William Close took the company public in 1966. But by the time Bowles became CEO in 1998, the Southern textile industry was under siege from imports. A financial analyst by training (and political wife by fate--she's married to Erskine Bowles, once chief of staff under President Bill Clinton), Bowles understood that to remain competitive, Springs had to restructure, cut domestic production and run a more efficient operation.
