...Pride of place still goes to such rare items as the Dutch-made Princess Daisy doll (1890), and the two exquisitely detailed tabletop layouts of Chinese rock gardens once owned by the Empress Josephine (1780), which, apart from being handcarved in wood, ivory and mother-of-pearl, look like giant Polly Pocket sets. But now, when the frustration of admiring - but not touching - everything from a 17th century rocking horse or Javanese shadow puppets through to vintage Playstations and Pokémon shoes gets too much, there are giant magnetic-doodle screens, fiber-optics and a wooden wave machine...
...rhetorical battle took a turn for the worse on Thursday, when in a speech that was broadcast to the crowds in Beirut on giant projection screens, Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah accused Siniora's government of collaborating with Israel to destroy Hizballah in this summer's war with the Jewish state, in part by trying to block supplies from reaching the battlefront of southern Lebanon.

The Swiss drug giant's 2005 income of $6.1 billion on sales of $32.2 billion set a record that CEO Daniel Vasella expects will be broken this year. He spoke with TIME's UNMESH KHER and BILL SAPORITO about vaccines, Democrats and why the firm is wading into China...
Starbucks fancies itself a small company, which might ring a little odd, considering that the coffee giant is regularly parodied as being practically unavoidable. Well, the joke is only going to get funnier as the Seattle firm, with its shareholders clearly in mind, gets even bigger, selling more stuff, from hot food to hot music, in more places than ever before. Right now Big Green runs 12,440 locations worldwide, but the goal is 40,000, which would trump even McDonald...
