...prime candidate to run the soon-to-be-merged Telewest and ntl, the two cable-TV companies that have suffered the most from BSkyB's success. Telecom-giant BT might also take an interest in Ball as it moves into broadcasting through mobile-phone and broadband technologies. What's curious about the bouncing Ball story is that it appeared almost out of thin air. Several British papers - including Murdoch's own Times - reported the ouster last week as nearly a fait accompli, even though News Corp. and BSkyB officials were saying nothing for the record.

...teacher - who mentioned it to Simon Rattle. Rattle was curious to meet the boy who wanted to conduct Schönberg, and invited him to a rehearsal with his City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. He even let him conduct a bit. Impressed by Harding's knowledge and his confidence, Rattle took Harding on as an assistant and began recommending the young man everywhere. Before long, Harding was plucked from university at 18 by Claudio Abbado, then chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, who wanted Harding to assist him. He made his full debut with the Berliners at 21. Now living...
