...Political boycotts tend to have a limited impact on a company the size of Burger King," says TIME Business editor Bill Sapporito. "Although it?s a hot button issue for some, it?ll hardly emerge on the radar screen in the U.S. market, and the company will hope that it eventually blows over." But Burger King is taking no chances on an issue with potentially wide emotive appeal in such diverse Muslim-dominated markets as Malaysia, Indonesia and throughout the Arab world. The company plans to meet representatives of American Muslims for Jerusalem to discuss the issue. After...
Since 1996, Kellogg has also been in charge of the New York City Opera, which performs at Lincoln Center in a 2,700-seat house whose stage is identical in size to that of Glimmerglass's 900-seat Alice Busch Opera Theater. This makes it possible for productions to be opened and polished in Cooperstown, then moved to New York City, where they can be seen by bigger audiences (and telecast over PBS). The two companies also share an ensemble of theatrically savvy young American singers, foremost among them soprano Lauren Flanigan, whose Olivier-like immersion in her roles...
...black peekaboo number worn by Rene Russo that is snug as a body stocking and virtually transparent. Like the diaphanous gown Marilyn Monroe donned for J.F.K.'s birthday, Russo's outfit is a sheer delight.

Sure, they reduced the usable area of the screen to the size of a large laptop's, but I barely noticed them. There was still plenty of room left to browse websites and use the included word-processing software. What's more, when I had trouble getting online, I got through to tech support in just 3 min. And since I'm not a gamer, I wasn't worried that my new PC lacked...
...steamy afternoon in June, beneath a ring of pine trees near Atlanta's Stone Mountain, 10 managers from Andersen Consulting are on a mission. The objective: to place a gallon-size tin can onto a foot-square wooden platform in the center of a roped-off circle about 30 ft. in diameter. The catch: the team has to do it from outside the circle, using only ropes attached to the can. The members of the group with physical control over the ropes are blindfolded, and have no idea where they are or what they're supposed to be doing...
