...financial community lost confidence in the music business, and a sell-off commenced. At one point, EMI's shares traded at around $1.30. At its nadir, the market valued the whole of EMI at less than the value of its publishing division alone. "The mood was tense and increasingly dark," says Rose. "We were fearful of losing control of the company. It could have been snapped up on the cheap." A 2000 merger attempt with Warner Music was rejected by the E.U. as anticompetitive. But twice during the later lean years, the companies discussed a tie-up. (And now that...
...parents, the cooped-up, dark days of winter can feel like close encounters of the worst kind. But cinemas in cities around the world have created an alternative to being chained to your DVD player after Junior's arrival: movie matinees that welcome babies. Marc Allenby of Picturehouse Cinemas, which offers the Huggies Big Scream in 18 U.K. locations, says, "In one sense it can seem like hell on earth-you have people changing nappies in the aisle, shaking rattles and coo-cooing.

The exclusive mountain getaway first opened its doors in 1901, attracting the likes of Russian writer Leo Tolstoy and Albert, King of the Belgians, until its first dark spell, when it was turned into a military hospital during World War I. History repeated itself during World War II, but the hotel rebounded both times. It re-established its place in the winter sun as a dormitory for Winter Olympics athletes in 1956, and prominent guests returned in droves...
...that fate: The five-piece band from Vancouver already knows exactly what it does best. Its third full-length release, Panic When You Find It, is a technically superb, 60s-influenced pop-rock album--and doesn't pretend to be more. There is no overarching theme in the often dark lyrics that songwriter Paul Hixon Pittman says he "usually think[s] about a year later," long after he's written them. Pittman's favorite song on the disc, 5/4, was named after its time signature since the band couldn't come up with another name for it. Even "Young...
