Susan Fisher, senior vice president of New York's Manufacturers and Traders Trust, agrees. Says she: "This bank wouldn't care if I was a purple frog. All that matters is what I can do for the bottom line." Atlantic Richfield Treasurer Camron Cooper manages $25 billion in company assets and insists that being a woman has nothing to do with her job. "I am the treasurer of Atlantic Richfield," she says, "not the female treasurer...
...Philadelphia Zoo's new Treehouse seems particularly fetching. A team of architects, engineers, sculptors and tinkerers spent four years turning an 1877 antelope shed into a vivid little natural-history funhouse, designing the scores of objects from scratch.

...rockers Coldplay released the first track off their new CD last week, you could almost sense the relief at record label EMI. Chairman Eric Nicoli partly blamed a 13% dip in annual profits on the delay of the group's latest album. All the more irritating, then, that Crazy Frog's Axel F, mixing the theme tune from the Beverly Hills Cop movie with an infuriating mobile-phone ring tone - think two-stroke scooters voiced by an animated frog - outsold Coldplay's single fourfold last week, according to music retailer HMV.
