...potential adult audience for graphic novels and cartoon films should have the U.S. media giants drooling. Just love those demographics! Think of the cross-marketing! A few players are onto anime already. Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, is a big investor in Manga Entertainment, the premier U.S. arm for anime. Its spectral cyborg parable, Ghost in the Shell, was the only anime to reach No. 1 on Billboard's Top Video Sales chart. Perfect Blue (a kind of All About Evil, in which a pop diva is both the star and her twisted alter ego) has played...
...wonder what must be in this euro-aesthete's art collection. Among the bottles up for bid this week are great trophy wines such as an 1811 Chateau Lafite and a 1945 Chateau Mouton Rothschild, as well as some of the finest and rarest young wines--bottles that an investor can bet will collect a premium at the year 3000 auctions.

This time the suspect was a camouflaged gunman in his 30s who fatally shot two men at a shipyard and then escaped. Both incidents--along with last July's trading-floor massacre in Atlanta, where an investor killed nine people before turning the gun on himself--attracted extensive live coverage on TV news channels. Anyone tuning in could be forgiven for thinking that the U.S. is in the grip of an epidemic of workplace homicides. Says Barry Glassner, author of The Culture of Fear: "You start wondering...
What's the worst-case scenario? For Gates, it would be the court-ordered breakup of his company, but the investor might not fare badly.

Forcing Microsoft to make its Windows source code available, opening it to competition from software writers would sting. But it would also produce incremental licensing revenue.
