...certainly a great moment for Arnault, who also controls Christian Dior. Neither Berg* nor Saint Laurent were at the YSL men's show the day before. (Remember, Arnault's archrival Gucci Group bought YSL for $1 billion late last year.) The debut men's collection by Tom Ford was a homage to Saint Laurent the man-a parade of lookalike models in the designer's signature glasses.

European environmentalists and consumer-advocacy groups were the first to launch major protests that have since spread worldwide. Environmentalists in India have filed suit against Monsanto to prevent it from testing genetically modified cotton. In the Philippines, farmers have demonstrated against seed giants Monsanto and Dupont's field tests of Bt corn. And activists there point to Miracle Rice?a product of the Green Revolution in the '60s?as a cautionary lesson. Its wholesale adoption in Southeast Asia...
