...that he hasn't faltered, sometimes spectacularly. His MTV-infused version of Romeo and Juliet was intended to reach young patrons, but when it toured in the West in the summer of 2005, it bombed with audiences and critics alike. But for Ratmansky, failure is just the occasional price of trying new things. "I would do it again," he shrugs. "It was a breakthrough for the company. There were a lot of younger people in the audience. Tastes are different everywhere; something that was adored in Paris might be hated in London...
...success depends on Burt Rutan, a brilliant if iconoclastic aircraftmaker whose unconventional designs can be found in everything from Predator drones to do-it-yourself airplane kits.

Karrar Hussein, 28, was crossing the bridge when the stampede began. Ask him about al-Obeidi, and his cheerful demeanor quickly turns sour. "That is a myth," hisses the cell-phone salesman.
