...must address the aesthetic design of the show. Hedda Gabler stands out as one of the best uses of the space in the Ex that I have seen here. The set was beautiful, both futuristic and functional, combining concrete benches and delicate pussywillow. The costumes were trim and stream-lined, the lighting was both eerie and eerily precise, and the sound added the perfect ambience of tense strangeness to the show. In fact, aside from the performances themselves, what was most impressive about the production was its uniformity of atmosphere, and for this one must give credit to the person...
...computer scientists and elected officials have joined a growing movement to either make the systems more accountable or pull the plug entirely. Electronic voting is "a rickety system with poor federal and state oversight," says Kim Alexander, president of the nonpartisan California Voter Foundation. "It has produced an endless stream of bad news." In the most dramatic move against the controversial systems, a state advisory panel urged California secretary of state Kevin Shelley to prohibit the use in this fall's election of 16,000 evoting machines that four counties purchased from Ohio manufacturer Diebold Inc. at a cost...
...dodge the taxi cabs hurtling down Charing Cross Road, hop over the thin, gray puddles and slip through the doors of London's National Portrait Gallery - a slow, steady stream of women shaking the rain from our umbrellas and asking, with just a hint of excitement, for directions to Room 41.

Li is also considered one of Asia's most forward-thinking businessmen. Hutchison Whampoa was an early investor in cell-phone companies such as Voice Stream and Orange, which were sold for huge profits. The company operates mobile-phone networks in Europe, Asia and Australia, though analysts are questioning Li's unprofitable investments in next-generation, or 3G, mobile-phone networks. It has major retail holdings in Europe (Superdrug) and Hong Kong, and also owns ports...
...like ancient tribes to maximize political power for the leading families," says Morgan Stanley economist Andy Xie. That changed with the '97 crisis, which caused the breakup of Hyundai Group and others and fostered an anti-chaebol backlash. Business life today in South Korea is marked by a steady stream of special investigations into chaebol-related bribery, stock manipulation, illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and fraud. Chey Tae Won, nephew of the founder of SK Group, was jailed last year for accounting and stock fraud. Chung Mong Hun, the favorite son of Hyundai's founder, killed himself last year after...
