...Luigi Garbini, 41, priest, author and composer I would start at twilight with a scotch on the rocks in the top-floor bar of La Rinascente department store, tel: (39-02) 88521. With its curving glass walls and terrace, it's like being on the deck of a glamorous ship; you can almost reach out and touch the statues that crown the roof of the Duomo. My favorite place for listening to classical music is the Sala Grande at the Conservatory, tel: (39-02) 7621 1012, which has a slightly decadent air, as if it was a private sitting room...
Lisa Corva, 45, novelist and fashion journalist Aperitivo hour is sacred in Milan. I'd have a glass of Falanghina, a full-bodied white wine, at Fioraio Bianchi, tel: (39-02) 2901 4390, in the Brera district. It's a favorite with the fashion pack. Then I'd seek out some real Milanese cuisine at Trattoria della Pesa, tel: (39-02) 655 5741, in Garibaldi. The risotto al salto is a delicious pancake of crispy rice made with leftover saffron risotto. After dinner, I might head to Blue Note, tel: (39-02) 6901 6888, the Milan outpost...

As big a celebrity as any of the leaders he interviews, Stone kicks a football around with Chávez and shares coca leaves with Bolivian President Evo Morales. Never does he raise prickly questions - for instance, about human-rights violations and attacks on journalists in Venezuela. The director leaves those stinging salvos...
...micro and macro scale. This desire to explore the relationship between objects and ourselves is reflected again in the piece “120 Days.” After reading an article by a market analyst that partially attributed the success of Coca-Cola to the way its original glass bottles mimicked the shape of a woman’s body, Ortega set out to explore the various forms a uniform glass bottle can take. Working from the initial idea of the bottle representing sexuality, Ortega plays with variations of embracing bottles, personifying the objects in the act of lovemaking...
When Japan Airlines (JAL) switched from glass wine bottles to plastic ones in coach class earlier this year, passengers took it as just another sign of the humbling of the country's once-proud flagship carrier. But far greater humiliations were in store for Asia's largest airline by revenue. Beset by a steady erosion of its customer base, high cost structures and a $15.4 billion debt load, JAL lost about $1 billion last quarter and projects a loss of about $700 million for this fiscal year. With nowhere else to turn, JAL CEO Haruka Nishimatsu this week met with...
