...Kaldor. With his relaxed slate-blue suit and glasses, Kaldor appears more like a gentleman academic or architect. Yet in the dozen years since Puppy, the former Sydney textile magnate has fashioned for himself one of the more influential roles in contemporary art-and one with more bite than bark. As founder of Kaldor Art Projects and reigning commissioner for Australia's representation at the Venice Biennale, Kaldor is part impresario, part philanthropist. "John's role is more precisely defined as someone who is the visionary," explains Juliana Engberg, a curatorial advisor for Venice. He also happens to be just...
...untucked dress shirt to work and uses phrases like "You da man." Drexler, a Bronx Science grad who got an M.B.A., then followed his father, a button buyer, into the clothing business, is always in motion--hence the p.a. system he uses like a high school principal to bark out questions (Who shops online?) and commands (Don't forget to turn off the conference-room lights).

The fsa's remit: working with firms to pinpoint potential risks long before things go wrong, rather than simply prescribing rules. While the U.K. watchdog listens, suggest industry representatives, U.S. regulators prefer to bark. The U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a 2002 response to the accounting scandals that toppled Enron and WorldCom, was intended to stiffen standards of corporate governance in public firms. In reality, the cumbersome auditing requirements - not to mention the cost and time involved in complying - have put many firms off listing...
...from the couture ateliers of Paris all the way to the cherry-blossom-filled gardens of Kyoto. One after another, models in geisha makeup and with orchids and ikebana arrangements caught up in their hair emerged in glorious confections that recalled hand-painted kimonos, origami folds and even the bark of a bonsai tree. Backstage, the designer described the show as Christian Dior meeting Puccini's Madama Butterfly...
