Chip mogul Morris Chang, who founded TSMC in 1987 and built it into the world's largest manufacturer of custom-made chips, named Tsai, a 15-year TSMC veteran, his successor. (Chang remains chairman.)

Imprisoned for lying about a stock trade, Stewart will still be freed in time for the fall debuts of her new TV programs, the syndicated daily talk show...
...series of Modernist glass buildings in the shade of venerable trees. Inhabited by ?ber-hip boutiques and restaurants, H1 inaugurated Thonglor's style revolution with a tenant list that includes one of the Thai capital's hottest tables, To Die For, tel: (66-2) 381 4714. Owned by fashion mogul Bhanu Inkawat and film director Nida Sudasna, this opulent restaurant wins as many raves for its contemporary dishes, like the vodka and caviar pasta, as it does for its posh take on home cooking (try the delectable cottage pie). Another of H1's star draws is the whimsical lifestyle store...
