...broken up in the name of improving shareholder value. Ebner, overstretched financially, has since had to sell or reduce many of his holdings, including his stake in Investor. The episode was a harsh test for the latest Wallenberg generation (the fifth) to run the business. It is led by Marcus Wallenberg, 46, a shy Georgetown University graduate who took over as Investor's CEO in 1999, and his cousin Jacob, 47, who is vice chairman. The two are struggling to reverse huge losses in Investor's portfolio, whose net asset value per share almost halved last year as core holdings...
...recent screening of the film at the Harvard Film Archive, over fifty percent of the audience quietly left the theatre near the half-way mark, during a 10-minute rape sequence that forms the core of the film.

Among other potential heroes to look out for: England's Marcus Trescothick and India's pint-sized maestro Sachin Tendulkar. Pakistan's Yousuf Youhana and Shoaib Akhtar, the "Rawalpindi Express," who can bowl a ball at 161 km/h, should be enough to keep them in contention. And don't miss Sri Lanka's man with the golden arm, spinner Muttiah Muralitharan...
What's the appeal? Dupont scientists developed neoprene more than 70 years ago, but today it is perceived as the high-tech material of the future. "Neoprene has a '60s-plastic influence," says Ken Downing, fashion spokesman at Neiman Marcus, "but it's very modern and directional." Indeed, soon after manufacturers realized that the insulating "elastomer," a fancy name for a material that stretches, could actually be worn, it became a material of choice for wet suits and outdoor gear. Now couturiers are drawn to neoprene for its texture, form-hugging fit and, most of all, versatility...
