...Working with Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts), an assistant D.A. who's been sleuthing the IBBC case from the New York City end, Salinger tries to corral the bank's CEO, Jonas Skarssen (Ulrich Thomsen), a dimpled smoothy who woos rebel chiefs on three continents with arms shipments for their would-be revolutions. Osama bin Laden needn't have buttonholed his Saudi relatives for al-Qaeda cash; he could have gone to Skarssen. As the banker tells an African insurgent, "The real value of a conflict, the true value, is the debt it creates." Hearing the outlines of this conspiracy, today...

Sami Khoreibi can't stop smiling. The baby-faced CEO of Enviromena Power Systems, Khoreibi launched his business a little over a year ago. Now he is looking over a 10-MW solar farm in the desert outside the city of Abu Dhabi, with row after row of solar panels angled to the Middle Eastern sun like bathers lying poolside. The solar farm is the earliest tangible part of Abu Dhabi's Masdar City, a $22 billion project designed to be the world's first zero-carbon-footprint, zero-waste settlement--the embodiment of this oil-rich Arab city...
