AHMEDABAD, India – In early September, the Indian Supreme Court is expected to rule on a gas-agreement dispute brought forth by India’s third richest industrialist, Anil Ambani—against India’s richest, Ambani’s own brother, Mukesh. The two businessmen now independently run what was once India’s largest industrial conglomerate, Reliance Industries, divided between the quarreling heirs after the death of the family and company patriarch, Dhirubhai Ambani. In a country ostensibly rooted in deep extended-family relations, the partitioning of Reliance and the Ambani family?...
...postelection crisis has rallied Iran's rebellious youth as well as its street artists, albeit in furtive and risky situations. Graffitists hurriedly stencil their graphics in out-of-the-way alleys (for example, to mock the regime's insistence that foreign agents helped foment the street protests, a noted brother duo sprayed "God Save the Sk8" against a British flag).

Marlon Brando's in the back seat of a taxi with Rod Steiger. One man is a dockworker and former prize fighter, the other his older brother Charley. "Remember that night in the Garden?" Brando says.

Displaying a striking resemblance to his martyred kin, Borsellino says he is convinced the Mafia did not act alone. "My brother knew about the negotiations between the Mafia and the state, and this is why he was killed," Borsellino says. "There were government authorities who worked...
...might the U.S. have benefited from interrogating Saad instead of killing him? We may never know. Saad "was a small player with a big name," says the counterterrorism official. "He has never been a major operational figure." (His brother Mohammed is thought to be more influential.) But terrorism analyst Peter Bergen, author of Holy War Inc.: Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden, points out that having Saad bin Laden in custody "would have been a great propaganda victory" for the U.S., greater than his death could be. Adds the Western intelligence official: "Think of how Americans would feel...
