...blond, she's curvaceously configured, and she has those remarkably proportioned lips. Naturally, in tabloid land, they figure Scarlett Johansson for the latest in the long line of movie bombshells dating back at least to Jean Harlow. That is an image that her appearance as Nola Rice, tragic fulcrum of the plot Woody Allen has devised for his well-received new movie, Match Point, is bound to enhance?except with Johansson herself: "I never think about that stuff. I like to think of myself as, I go to work and I act. It's my professional life...
...Ministers, Martin, 67, had long groomed himself for the national stage. The names in his personal Rolodex range from international bankers to Bono, the rock-star poverty crusader. But when he became PM in December 2003 after staging an internal party coup that swept his former boss, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, into retirement, he inherited an exhausted, divided party with its glory days behind it. Perhaps, conceded one party official in Ontario, Canada's most populous province, "We [Liberals] need a time-out." As the ice in Canada's political landscape begins to crack, they...
...seat, including two former Presidents, three former Prime Ministers, three former military officers, a guerrilla leader, two alleged drug traffickers and a sweatshop industrialist. Each wants to replace Alexandre Boniface, the interim President of Haiti, who assumed office after the forced February 2004 departure of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the controversial former priest who now lives with his wife and two daughters in South Africa amid allegations of stealing millions from Haiti's treasury and telephone company.

But the U.N. force, which was deployed in June 2004, is assigned to defend Haiti's constitution, not to take up arms against criminals. "When they leave, I will leave too," says Jean-Buteau Sévère, 34, who returned to his dicey Port-au-Prince neighborhood of Bel Air only after the Brazilians set up an outpost there. The gangs and private armies are likely to collude in controlling the streets--and thus the votes--in the walkup to the election. And unless...
...sometimes dubious assets. Several of Europe's biggest companies succumbed, including German automaker DaimlerChrysler, which only recently unwound a costly investment in Japan's Mitsubishi Motors, and France's Vivendi Universal, which briefly teetered close to bankruptcy in 2002 after a huge acquisition binge by its former ceo Jean-Marie Messier. Morgan Stanley's Pereira contends that the latest activity is fundamentally different. "A lot of M&A then was driven by technology, media and telecommunications [companies], where business models were changing and valuations for the business proved, in hindsight, to be ahead of the reality. Today, people...
