...says, 'I'll have a good look and see if it is suitable.' Two days later I got a letter saying it was." Q&A 'I am the same person if people say I'm a hedonistic madman or an innovative publisher.' TIME: Another of the big autumn books, Michel Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White, is one of yours. Why didn't you publish it in time to be nominated for a Booker? Byng: The deadline for the Booker is Sept. 30. We published it on Oct. 3. That was a very deliberate decision. Although Michel...
...general manager, Giacomo Ovidi, "is that people of different nationalities can work as a team and achieve great results." If Alinghi wins the Cup, it could stage the next event in Italy, France or Spain - anywhere with the right winds and the proper facilities, says team executive director Michel Bonnefous. The real prize at stake is the right to host the next regatta in home waters (or wherever the successful team chooses to call home). And that means money.

Books may not be as popular as movies or TV or music these days, but you have to hand it to them: they're still our filthiest medium, God bless 'em. You can get away with things on paper that you could never sing about or show onscreen. Michel Faber's colossal, kaleidoscopic new novel, The Crimson Petal and the White (Harcourt, 838 pages), tells the story of a prostitute in Victorian England, and if it's ever filmed, it'll be rated around an NC-45. But it also hints that reading and sex have a lot in common...
...Michel Bon turned France Telecom (FT) from a national fixed-line phone company into a European powerhouse. But the acquisition binge that brought the company Orange, a 28.5% stake in MobilCom and a disastrously expensive 3G presence also left it with a staggering debt of nearly ?70 billion, and as Bon resigned last week that looked like his lasting legacy. FT now seems to be headed for a ?10-15 billion rights issue to plug next year's funding gap. But that's a flimsy plaster for a company that hemorrhaged ?8.3 billion last year and ?12.2 billion in this...
