...respect for the text I like," he says), but Benjamin still exceeded his expectations. "André sent me a note after the movie, thanking me. Honestly, it might be the first note I ever got. I sent him one back saying, 'Thank you. I hope I have a bigger part for you someday.' He was really prepared, a true professional...
...Switzerland's Upper Engadine valley, St. Moritz is thoroughly civilized: yachting and water sports on crystal-blue lakes; hiking in the dry, sparkling champagne climate; long cycle rides or drives along winding mountain roads. "People don't want to bake on the beach the whole time," says Rahal Bigger-Morf of St. Moritz's landmark Badrutt's Palace hotel (tel: [41-81] 837 1000; www.badruttspalace.com).

If families still sat around the radio in happy little nuclear units, they would spend the night rocking out to Jack. In the year since it was introduced in the U.S., Jack radio has spread to 17 stations...
...operating profit even though it accounted for only around 30% of Wendy's $951 million in revenues. To highlight that value, Wendy's announced last month that it would sell as much as an 18% stake in Tim's by early next year. In Canada, where Tim's is bigger than McDonald's (2,492 stores vs. 1,375), the 41-year-old company dominates many small- and medium-size markets; it hopes to do the same in cities like Dayton, Ohio, and Detroit.
