...Japan. "I'd been thinking that Japan needed a new, energetic sound to jolt it out of its funk," says Tomoto. "The second I saw them, I knew they were going to be huge." His bosses weren't convinced, so Tomoto quit his job and started his own music label. It paid off: Tomoto's Platia Entertainment earned almost $50 million in its first year of operation...
...have brought this diminutive, 21-year-old woman and her six accused comrades to this appalling pass? There is no shortage of explanations. From the moment the atrocities at Abu Ghraib came to light, military commanders, members of the Administration and, indeed, the Commander in Chief were quick to label those implicated as "bad apples." As President Bush put it, they are an exceptional "few" whose actions "do not reflect the nature of the men and women who serve our country." The families and friends of the accused, of course, say the very opposite is true: these are normal, patriotic...
...Grammy-winning hip-hop duo OutKast, plays Dabu "a trigger-happy parody of all rappers," he says. "He's a dude from the street, and he's kind of crazy. He'll be in a normal conversation just itching to shoot somebody."

"It's that traditional gentleman's aesthetic," says designer Dayne Johnston, "with a difference...
Andy Warhol notoriously rejected the dividing line between art and commerce. He'd be happy, then, to see Campbell's tomato-soup cans with labels inspired by his famous silkscreens lining supermarket shelves. Through a licensing agreement with the Andy Warhol Foundation, Campbell's has introduced limited-edition cans in four color combinations, selling for $2.99 a four-pack exclusively at Giant Eagle supermarkets. This is the first time Campbell's has deviated from its red-and-white label since it was introduced in 1898. And with a run of 300,000 cans, each with a copy of Warhol...
