...Both Clinton and Obama have run textbook versions of victorious campaigns - one deftly executing the Establishment Juggernaut strategy, the other ably pulling off the Insurgent Newcomer strategy. Some years, the nominee is the one who fails the least, but not this year. Hillary Clinton has piled up more votes and more money than any previous Democrat in a contested primary. And Obama has still more of both...
...money. That's why it's been particularly hard for designer Frida Giannini, 35, to win the vote of her fashion constituents for the three years that she has been overseeing the creative direction of Gucci, the $3.1 billion (2.1 billion euro) apparel, fragrance and accessories juggernaut.

As it looks right now, possible outcomes can only include violent resistance in Kosovo, a disillusioned and hostile Serbia...
...easily across the border. The proposal is rooted in a much grander vision than merely cutting bureaucratic red tape, however. The goal in melding Hong Kong and Shenzhen, the report said, is to create a megacity that, by 2020, would surpass London and Los Angeles as an international economic juggernaut. It's a quintessentially capitalist solution befitting a quintessentially capitalist city. Need to grow to keep pace with competitors? Find a merger partner. "I think a closer relationship with the mainland is inevitable and by now is accepted by both sides," says Shiu Sin-por, a member of the Hong...
