...taking over the North American operations. Recruited to the lossmaking Renault in 1996, Ghosn undertook a three-year cost-cutting campaign, ultimately saving the company over j3 billion - and allowing it to take its controlling stake of Nissan in 1999. As he remolded the company, Ghosn became a business hero and media superstar in Japan.

...forget it kids: he’s the Jewish reggae rapper. He bum-rushes the stage, rocks the appropriately youthful and attractive crowd, and prances around in an Adidas track suit. All of this takes place in the warmest, coziest ghetto you’ve ever seen. Our hero and his gaggle of troubled, but not too troubled, teens get empowered and mimic the “black power” salute.

Myth has it that Morocco's Atlas Mountains were formed when the hero Perseus turned the eponymous Titan to stone by forcing him to look at the head of Medusa the Gorgon. A visit to the town of Ouarzazate, on the mountains' edge and 400 km outside Marrakech, might lead to you to believe that Atlas survived and that the giant is now amassing a collection of supersized toys.
