...held accountable. Pressure from activists has led Wall Street firms like J.P. Morgan Chase to assess environmental risks when deciding whether to finance projects such as gas pipelines in ecologically fragile regions. In the industrial sector, GE comes tardy to the green party, following firms such as Alcoa, BP, DuPont and Shell, which several years ago set targets for cuts in greenhouse gases and promised greater reductions than...
...only the audio that dampened my film appreciation. In a cozy apartment near Dupont Circle, the 12-watt subwoofer was okay, but there wasn't enough power or clarity coming from the built-in 5.6-watt speakers. The good news there is that the Cinego has analog and digital audio outputs, so you can connect your own stereo pair, or even a 5.1-surround sound amp and speakers if you like. But then you'd lose the ability to watch-and-dash (or, at home, watch-and-stash). In the morning, to my host's chagrin, I packed everything back...
...countries signed an historic cooperation agreement, with Australia pledging more than $A1 billion in aid over five years. In August, Blackmore was in Bougainville for the first deployment of some 200 Australian police as part of the program.

...thinking about the fact that we don't talk much about our nearest neighbors," says Foster. While Blackmore's 25 startling yet often poetic images, of scenes from sing sings to AIDS wards, provide a social context for the raskols in "PNG" (the show opens this week), it is Dupont's 30 portraits that are more likely to challenge the way Australians see their neighbors. As well as flaunting hand-made guns and machetes, these criminals proudly wear Rugby League jerseys and Australian-flag bandanas. For gallery goers, it's a disturbing mix of the familiar and the strange...
...heading a conglomerate in a conservative, largely Muslim society. Turkish billionaire Sakip Sabanci chose his niece last May to succeed him at the helm of the $12 billion Sabanci Holdings, whose businesses include food, energy and retail. Renowned as an internationalist for forging a $100 million joint venture with DuPont, the charismatic Güler plans to further Sabanci's global reach. What's it like being a woman in a man's world? "It was hard for the first five years. But once I got over that psychological hurdle, there was no stopping me!" she says. --By Pelin Turgut/Istanbul...
