...doing everything right. Though it is small (pop. 16 million), its GDP is $145 billion, one of Latin America's highest per capita, and is expected to grow more than 5% this year with little inflation (though recent labor and student protests indicate Chileans want a larger slice of that wealth). Its size precludes large-scale manufacturing, so it heavily promotes value-added industries for its myriad commodities, like copper and timber. Compañía Sud Americana de Vapores, Latin America's largest maritime-transport concern, reflects how Chile has turned itself from a hemispheric outpost into a bridge...
Take Charles Dickens, slice off his creativity, simmer down his imagination, and you get “August Rush.†An urban fantasy that begins with a promising nod to “Oliver Twist,†the film sputters to a halt with a script as unbearable as Ebenezer Scrooge. Director Kirsten Sheridan poorly attempts to mix realism and fable, and brings to the screen a sappy story that relies too heavily on the viewer to piece everything together. “August Rush†brings together two charming romantics for a one night stand?...
...Sherbrooke and Rue des Pins, is filled with a pungent mix of great restaurants, cafes, food stores, nightclubs and local-designer clothing shops.

...been working ever since to prove that not only does that dress-for-dinner lifestyle still exist, but selling clothes to match it is profitable.

As CEO and chairman, Del Vecchio has yanked the company back to its higher-brow heritage by rolling out new cuts of suits, reinvigorating the made-to-order and tailor shops, overhauling women's wear and upgrading fabrics...
...marked an important way station in Gabriel's career, combining activism with intricate, African-inflected rhythms. That soulful style, similar to Paul Simon's recent Graceland excursions but rather more sober, found its fleetest expression in last year's smash album So and Top Five single Sledgehammer, a smoking slice of revisionist 1960s rhythm and blues that turned male sexual braggadocio into high comedy. The album and the single just earned Gabriel four Grammy nominations (awards to be announced Feb. 24), and the singer says that he is "pleased." Then, using a characteristic combination of deflective wit and earnestness...
