Besides, if there's anything Ann Arbor won't lack for, it's news. There's already at least one profitable local-news site in town. Mary Morgan, 48, a former News staffer, and her husband Dave Askins, 44, started the Ann Arbor Chronicle last September. It specializes in long-form accounts of local council, school-board and other civic-association meetings. "I hand-tooled most of the HTML myself," says Askins. (He learned on his other site, Teeter Talk - word-for-word transcriptions of interviews with local figures on the couple's teeter-totter.) The Chronicle, says Morgan...

...bloody guerrilla war, the black majority finally took power in 1980, with Mugabe as independent Zimbabwe's first leader. He has ruthlessly held on to the position ever since.

But it's also an agglomeration of Chase Manhattan, Chemical Bank, Manufacturers Hanover, First Chicago, National Bank of Detroit, Bank One, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, among others, and this mishmash has only come together as a coherent whole since renowned details guy Jamie Dimon took over as CEO in 2005. "The teamwork culture at JPMorgan Chase is really Jamie Dimon," Ellis says...
...Morgan Tsvangirai's route to power has been long and tortuous. Shortly after he broke with Robert Mugabe's regime as head of the country's trade union movement in 1997, a group of men thought to be from Zimbabwe's secret service burst into his 10th-floor offices in Harare and tried to hurl him through a window. Since then, he has faced three more attempts on his life, been repeatedly beaten and arrested, and has seen Mugabe steal two elections from him, in 2002 and 2008. On March 6, less than a month after he became Prime Minister...
