Shareholders are taking action on their own: yanking money from any company showing even a hint of trouble. The latest black-and-blue chip? The respected drug giant Johnson & Johnson, whose stock fell 16% following a report that the company was under investigation by the Food and Drug Administration and the Justice Department over alleged manufacturing improprieties in Puerto Rico.

Using Humbrol enamel paints (designed for plastic airplane kits), Shaw, 36, depicts the 1960s housing estate in Coventry where he grew up: its fish-and-chip shops and social clubs, its surrounding wet woods and backways. People and cars are missing, the light is fading and summer never comes. In Scenes from the Passion: The Fall a line of derelict garages bisects the picture, beneath a band of brooding trees and a lemon sky, and its image...
HONEYMOON You've bought the plane tickets to Hawaii but don't have much moola left. At such websites as TheBigDay.com Honeymoonerstravel.com and HoneyLuna.com friends can chip in for frills like a night at a volcano, horseback rides or parasailing sessions...
