...overly formulaic. Only a few of the photographs are remarkable in their own right and many are outright flops. There are no individual titles for a series of identically-sized photographs (a modest 6” x 8”), which, evoking urban sprawl, are assembled on a loose grid. Many look as though they were taken from a moving car, not because of blurriness, but because of the sheer inattention paid to composition.

...where Sanyo is a significant competitor. Although numerous start-ups in the U.S., China and Taiwan have been investing in the technology over the past two years, generating electricity from solar panels is still at least twice as expensive as buying it from the fossil fuel--reliant U.S. utility grid. Experts say the solar-power industry will need support from government subsidies and incentives for years to come...

...first crack at GP2, the training ground for Formula One, Hamilton dominated the 2006 season with a series of blistering drives on his way to the title. (On one occasion, starting from the back of the grid in Hungary after stalling his engine, Hamilton snaked his way to second.) And on the evidence so far, Formula One hasn't reduced his appetite for risky maneuvers. Hamilton is "not worried about showing or doing what he's used to doing just because it's Formula One," says Hill. For many new drivers, "that's an enormous hurdle." With the retirement last...

Experts say the solar-power industry will need support from government subsidies and incentives for years to come. Not only that, demand for energy-efficient products (as well as the stock prices of companies that sell them) tends to rise and fall with the price of oil, making revenue streams...
