...increasingly bypass it - as declining voter turnouts show. Speak to operatives from traditional parties in Britain and the U.S., and you hear frank admiration for the antipoverty campaigners allied to Geldof, Bono and Co. They are global, deeply media savvy and well connected. And they are audacious enough to dream up big schemes - like the plan to promote their trademark white wristband on a vast scale in the days before the G-8 by wrapping enormous white bands around the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Rome's Colosseum, St. Paul's Cathedral in London and the Trocadéro buildings...

Pinola's idea of the new company's competition, as he told TIME last week, includes not only other banks...

For them the true colors of Red River, Blue Denim, Golden Boy and Green Pastures are those shades of pearl and ivory determined by the films' cinematographers. And when Bogie says, "Here's looking at you, kid," movie lovers gaze at Ingrid Bergman in glorious monochrome...
