...wreckage has emerged a vastly different landscape, where Old Economy companies, values and business fundamentals like real revenues and profits have reasserted themselves, and where risk and euphoria have been displaced by disillusionment, caution and blame. "It was an expensive lesson," says Bernd Hardes, a venture capitalist who co-founded ECONA AG in Berlin. Says Elserino Piol, president of Italy's Pino Venture Partners: "We've come to the end of the pioneer cycle." Venture capitalists are at the heart of that change.

Its construction was funded by a foundation set up by companies that came into existence as parts suppliers in Zeppelin...
Turns out, and this really does come as a shock to many French, that all of them were pretenders. The boy who died in Temple prison and whose body was dumped in a mass grave really was Louis Charles, DNA tests have revealed. Scientists Jean-Jacques Cassiman and Bernd Brinkmann compared the mitochondrial DNA of the boy's mummified heart with samples from locks of hair taken from his mother, two of her sisters and two living maternal relatives. The sequences were all identical. Cassiman pronounced the results definitive, while conceding that "the heart was not ideally preserved for this...
