...Alistair Darling announced a proposal to charge foreign residents an annual $60,000 fee beginning in the eighth year of their stay in Britain. The question is, if London's foreign rich follow the money right out of town as a result, can London afford to lose them? Scorpio Partnership's Dovey fears the worst. "They don't have any deep ingrained ties to Britain," he says. "If the economic climate changes, they'll go somewhere else. I say let them do what they do.

...power to strike a deep chord and even spawn lasting pop-culture icons. Award-winning adman Philip Dusenberry, longtime chairman of BBDO North America, created those kinds of pitches. His magic, say his peers, was an intuitive sense of the emotional impact of his work. Before taking on the Partnership for a Drug-Free America and, in the wake of 9/11, New York City tourism ads, Dusenberry led such campaigns as "Pepsi: The Choice of a New Generation" (including, regrettably, the commercial in which Michael Jackson's hair caught fire...
