...best companies?from mobile-phone operators to insurance firms?have made Hong Kong's stock market their No. 1 choice for going public. Why? The imposition of onerous reporting requirements on companies listing in the U.S. in the wake of the Enron scandal has knocked some of the shine off New York, while Chinese bourses in Shanghai and Shenzhen are often considered to be too immature and restricted (foreigners are allowed to trade freely only in certain shares). Besides, Hong Kong has no shortage of local and international investors who love to gamble on IPOs. In October, the Industrial...
...Reese Witherspoon all sparkled in shimmery and sunshiny tones. Also impressively bronze was Drew Barrymore's skin, which appeared exfoliated and spray-tanned to the exact hue of the night's golden prize.

...making an utterly fearless debut). She's Ian's grandniece, up from the provinces and supposed to be tending the old guy - cooking, cleaning, giving him an arm to lean on. She's hopeless at all these tasks, and a potty-mouthed layabout besides. Nevertheless , Maurice takes a mentoring shine to her, perhaps seeing in her something of himself, independent and instinctive. He finds her a job (posing nude for an art class), takes her to the theater, even lets her accompany him on a film location, in the process dragging her out of her shell of ignorance and indifference...
