...hours after the indictment was announced, but a company representative says her new title, "chief creative officer," only reflects what she has always done in shaping the Martha Stewart television shows, magazine and home products. "It's business as usual," the representative says. Stewart will continue to appear on the TV shows, and the magazine will continue to be animated with scenes from her carefully crafted life of gracious country glamour. At least one expert on branding suggests that this is the opposite of what the company should be doing--steering Martha Stewart the company away from Martha Stewart...
...Such shakedowns appear to be common. Outside the gates of the Changping C.-and-R. center on the outskirts of Beijing, Liu Yan is standing in the rain hoping for news of his 28-year-old daughter who came south from the northeastern province of Heilongjiang to work in a knitting factory. He lost touch with her more than a month ago, but it's been only a week since he received a phone call from a center employee telling him his daughter had been picked up and that he must come to Beijing and pay $600?more than double...
...disease could return next year?possibly in a more infectious form. Initial hopes that the virus would weaken as it passed through the human population proved false. Worse, mutations in the virus seem to accumulate and spread rapidly, which increases the likelihood that a nasty new variant could appear in the future?possibly next fall or winter, when environmental conditions could make SARS more contagious.

In cities in the north, like Kirkuk, and the south, like Basra, conditions are much better than they are in Baghdad, in part because they are smaller and more manageable and in part because they are areas that were less sympathetic to Saddam and the Baath. There has been some progress in Baghdad too. Iraq's patchwork power grid last week managed to pump more than 1,000 MW of electricity into the city for the first time since the main fighting ended--though...
Jancy Chang was a talented artist and teacher, and only in her 40s, when the symptoms of dementia began to appear. She had a rare form of progressive aphasia that would sap her language skills and force her to retire from teaching at 52. But even as she was losing the ability to make lesson plans, grade homework or remember the names of her students, her artistic vision seemed to be expanding (see right). "Her painting became wilder and freer and more original as her language declined," says Dr. Bruce Miller, a neurologist at the University of California...
