...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. That Berg* and Saint Laurent chose to attend the Dior show instead of the one for the brand they created could only be seen as a slap in the face...
...charges against IBM are hardly unique. Many U.S.-based multinationals, including Ford Motor Company, Coca-Cola and Colgate-Palmolive, have weathered charges of aiding and/or operating for profits under the Nazi regime. A few years ago, when a lawsuit was brought against Ford, the company fought (and won) for a dismissal, but not before it acknowledged that its German subsidiary used labor from the Buchenwald concentration camp to build vehicles. Ford's U.S. offices maintain they were not responsible for what went on after its assets were seized in 1941 - a claim many companies, including IBM, make in the face...
...days captures the perfect Cheney pose--former President Bush and General Colin Powell standing in the foreground while Cheney lurks in the background with what an aide calls his "cockeyed look," his shoulders hunched and a slanted, slightly menacing smile on his face. Since his days as Gerald Ford's chief of staff and, later, as second-ranking Republican in the House, that look has invited all manner of interpretations. Returning from White House meetings last week, Republicans and Democrats were puzzling over what the man in the background was thinking. "He just sits there with a cat's grin...
...campaign. With Brown campaigning so heavily on eliminating corruption and reforming the jail, his manager and several other volunteers--many of whom were off-duty cops--swore they were being followed. Late one night the candidate and another county official were shadowed by a mysterious man in a dark Ford Expedition as they stood on a sidewalk outside a Decatur restaurant and talked about the extent of the corruption, possibly involving bail bondsmen at the jail. Jack Stanford, a DeKalb police officer and close campaign aide, even suggested Derwin and the others begin carrying guns. None of it spooked Derwin...
...other ways to boost income. Already, auditors are trying to account for $400,000 in bond forfeitures that are missing, overdue or otherwise not collected. This supposedly was the topic of conversation between Derwin Brown and the county official (clerk of court Jeanette Rozier) when the man in the Ford Expedition was watching them during the runoff election. Other bondsmen in town say they can find no record in the clerk's office of as many as 150 criminal cases in which they hold bonds. The companies are required to file quarterly reports listing the status of all bonded cases...
