...answer will depend on how demand in China holds up over the next few months. But even if growth slows further, most of the biggest players in shipping are likely to survive. According to Oliviero Baccelli, a transportation economist at Bocconi University in Milan, that's because shippers have cut costs far faster and deeper than many of their counterparts in other industries. Shipping also enjoys a certain stability during tough times thanks to the enduring presence of family-run companies, and gradual consolidation over the past couple of decades has winnowed out the weak. "You have families who have...
Legendarily controversial advertising photographer Oliviero Toscani wants us to imagine an archaeologist a thousand years from now digging up an issue of TIME, circa 2007. "Maybe on the cover he'll find a poignant photograph of AIDS in Africa. Then he'll open up the magazine and see a photograph advertising a shiny Mercedes." Through his pistachio green designer glasses, the ad man's ever-twinkling eyes widen. "And then he'll see a big spread on the lost children of Brazil, which is followed by a double-page photograph for Chanel perfume." Knocking his knuckles once on the table...
...lose by printing the truth." When the reporter asks what is "the truth," the young Dylan snaps back: "A plain picture. Of, let's say, a tramp vomiting into the sewer. And next to the picture is Mr. Rockfeller, or C.W. Jones on the the subway going to work."

...With a shocking photograph of a naked anorexic woman, shot by Oliviero Toscani, the eternal enfant terrible of fashion photography, Nolita's is the latest attempt to employ a formula that Toscani helped invent with Benetton in the 1980s: the use of provocative, socially conscious images to help hawk products. (And, in theory, the images attempt to accomplish the inverse as well: using consumerism to try to raise public awareness.) In the past, Toscani has used photographs of AIDS victims and death-row inmates in Benetton ads. But this time, the message is also targeted at the very industry that...
...Aperto 93" greets you before you go in; it is a huge mural composed of hundreds of color photographs of human genitalia, he, she, he, she, ranging widely in age and size. It scored a palpable hit on the G-spot of the Italian press, partly because its author, Oliviero Toscani, does the advertising photos for Benetton. Despite Toscani's stance as a fearless realist, this Don Giovanni's catalog in Cibachrome is aesthetically inert, and after five minutes about as shocking as a mural of human elbows might be. Nevertheless, it wins (hairs-down, as it were) over Gianfranco...
