...could be a tight race. "[Yudhoyono] may be the favorite, but it is way too early to count Megawati out," says Indra Piliang, a political analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Jakarta. "It now depends on who can win the support of the other parties." Indeed, in the event of a runoff between Yudhoyono and Megawati-which will occur if neither wins the required 50% of the vote in the first round-the two finalists will focus much of their attention on trying to woo voters who had supported Wiranto. But with the race still tight...
...Indra Nooyi's bulldog determination is already the stuff of musical legend--a friend once rewrote Black Sabbath's Iron Man in honor of the electric guitar-loving PepsiCo president and chief financial officer. ("Driving them up the wall/Iron Woman rules them all.") Nooyi, 48, plays a mean power chord herself. In 1997 she prodded Roger Enrico, then CEO, to spin off PepsiCo's fast-food business. She later pushed Enrico to buy Quaker Oats and Tropicana, two bold acquisitions that kept the company squarely in snack foods while adding healthier fare to the mix. Strategic vision has always been...

...youth, a threatening prospect considering how cloudy and volatile are the thoughts and feelings Terkel assembles. This is understandable. Race itself is an irrational subject, which may be "the American obsession" but is not an American invention. The 3,000-year-old Rig-Veda tells of the Aryan god Indra's hatred for the black-skinned anasya. Han dynasty historians (right for the wrong reasons) believed yellow-haired, green-eyed people evolved from primates. The Babylonian Talmud attributes the blackness of Ham's descendants to Jehovah's curse...
...stage is used imaginatively: there are scenes in which people hang upside down from the ceiling and in which Indra breaks through a whole segment of the audience as he barges in through the door that contains the mysteries of life. Superior coordination between the stage hands and the actors make for wonderful viewing and superb production (Emily Brodsky). In the end, though, it is Canosa who steals the show. His ingenuity, resourcefulness and vision are what make Dream Play a dream...
