...damaging companies bedeviled by piracy and the online trading of free music. Levy realized that the industry had to figure out how to make money from digital music. If he could run another company, he told colleagues, he'd do things differently. That opportunity came in the autumn of 2001, when Eric Nicoli, chairman of EMI Group - the iconic British company whose superstars have ranged from the Beatles to Coldplay - offered him the top job at EMI Music. EMI was then a listing ship that had jettisoned more than 40% of its market value in one year, and had just...
...market in the world to be ignored by nearly everybody else, India is suddenly the flavor of the new century. Vogue will launch an Indian edition next year. Every rock act of note plays Bangalore: the Rolling Stones were here three years ago and U2 will perform in the autumn. Chanel spent several hundred thousand dollars on a single evening's festivities to announce its entry into India, and Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Gucci and the others are on their way.

Sibaty Siby, 62, says it happened because hope had already been trashed there long ago. President of the Franco-African Association in Clichy-sous-Bois, the poor, high-rise community 20 km east of Paris where the rioting began, Siby figures one thing is as true in France today as it was when he was growing up in a village in Mali: "If you want to be trusted by people, you have to trust them yourself." France, he says...
...newly integrated into departments and degree programs. It calls for a major reorganization and renewal of our efforts in those domains. The Committee on Science and Technology has recommended a new set of introductory courses in the natural and applied sciences, the first fruit of which debuted this autumn, to considerable praise: Life Sciences 1a and 1b. The Committee on Advising and Counseling addresses, in the most comprehensive report this Faculty has ever produced on the topic, our severe deficiencies in academic advising and suggests multiple paths to improvement, in the knowledge that greater freedom of choice only underscores...
