Forging ground in the architecture of global luxury hotels is a far cry from designing coffee shops and dry cleaners, which made up the bulk of the Canadians' work after they started their firm in 1980. Now, with a staff of 75 and offices in New York City and Toronto, Yabu and Pushelberg have five more luxury hotels under their belt and a handful of other projects in the works, including a Four Seasons in Marrakech and a Mimo So fine-jewelry store in Los Angeles. Gamal Aziz, president of MGM Grand, for whom Yabu and Pushelberg have designed...
...Unitech's Chandra is more optimistic about the malling of India, predicting that the bulk of the country's retail business will move into malls within a few years. More Indians are starting to buy at malls, he notes, as retailers get better at pitching goods. "We're learning the science of retailing," he says.

...Labor thought it had the election in its pocket. Kim Beazley did not release the bulk of his policies until the official campaign. This approach, which has become known as the "small-target" strategy, had worked before. It is identical to the one that Howard employed in 1996 to win office. But after almost six years, voters did not know what alternative leader Beazley stood for. Latham once vowed never to adopt such a negative ploy. Yet, here he is, with under 40 days to articulate and sell an integrated platform to a public that is, at best, merely curious...
...maybe not." Or maybe both. Late last month, after a joint U.S.-Iraqi sweep of Haifa Street, the Iraqi government announced that 263 had been detained in a sweep for "insurgents"--a suspect figure, given that most of the detainees were Shi'ites and the bulk of the hard-core insurgents in this neighborhood are Sunnis. What wasn't reported is that Task Force 1/9 was ambushed three minutes into the operation and hit by 26 RPGs, eight roadside bombs and relentless small-arms fire during the gun battles that followed. One grenade landed just 3 ft. from Captain Foley...
