...marks a rite of passage, with the longer-term fate and fortune of the fabled Italian family, worth some $2 billion, now resting on the shoulders of three members of the next generation. Elkann and his younger brother Lapo are grandsons of Giovanni Agnelli, and Andrea is Umberto's son by his second marriage. The family's line of succession was disrupted when Umberto's eldest son, long seen as the heir apparent, died of cancer in 1997--and Giovanni's son committed suicide in 2000. The three cousins have limited business experience...

...hormones leptin and insulin are longer-term signals. Produced by fat cells, leptin helps manage just how much fat you store around your organs and under your skin through a complex feedback loop.

It all marks a rite of passage, with the longer-term fate and fortune of the fabled family, worth some $2 billion, now resting on the shoulders of three members of the next generation. Elkann and his younger brother Lapo are grandsons of the late Giovanni Agnelli, while Andrea is Umberto's son by his second marriage. The family...
...Some longer-term temps enjoy the best of both worlds: they get the same benefits as full-time employees without feeling the need to give face time or flatter the boss. Steve Israeli, 33, of Brooklyn, N.Y., has been working since July 2002 through the New York City agency TemPositions, most recently as an IT manager for a state agency. Laid off by Lucent in 2002, he says he is making more than he was at his last full-time job and, after years of waiting, got his first chance to be a manager. "This is my career, absolutely," Israeli...
