...Exchange. If the new rules are applied rigidly, those firms will have to decide whether to play by them or cut themselves off from the world's largest capital market. The lobbying will gather steam this week, when business representatives from the 15 E.U. countries meet in Brussels to hammer out a joint stance. One of the biggest questions they face is how much of a public fuss to make. It's a tough call. Markets are already unsettled, and companies don't want to look as if they have something to hide. "Just because many are holding back with...

It gets the job done in a majestically compressed 1min, 50sec...
...Bycko says are "obvious" similarities between Warhol's prints and local eastern Orthodox church icons, or don't connect Warhol's famously reclusive personality with the ways of the suspicious natives. On display are more than 120 original prints and drawings, some of them - Cow, Shoes, Flowers, Red Lenin, Hammer and Sickle and Absolut Vodka - chosen to suit uncomplicated local tastes, Bycko says. There are also such Warhol personal effects as a snakeskin jacket, green-tinted sunglasses, a scrap of paper titled "Calligraphy Fragment Found in Pocket of Andy's Leather Jacket" and historical records mentioning Warhol's parents, both...
