...tapped to lead. Just days after the 2008 festival ended, Long traveled to New York City, where the Bernstein performance was shown on eight giant screens in Times Square, just blocks from the spot where Bernstein's West Side Story had its Broadway premiere more than half a century earlier. Next year's BMF is already being planned, and Long is looking at other long-term projects, including a collaboration with Israel and Germany to produce an opera about the small Jewish community in Shanghai that sheltered Holocaust refugees during World...
...where the focus of investors ought to be: not on bailouts or the economic stimulus package du jour, but on the economy itself. All over the world, indicators are flashing red.

...first time that the 28-year-old bin Laden, who has publicly called on his father to reject violence, has sought asylum outside the Arab world. Earlier this year, he made the same request at the British embassy in Cairo, asking for a settlement visa that would allow him to live in the U.K. with his British wife Jane Felix-Browne - who now goes by the name of Zaina Mohammed Al-Sabah. Although in that case he alleged that his life was endangered both in his native Saudi Arabia and in Egypt, where he currently resides, the British were apparently...
