Those problems now belong to Zetsche, who sports a bushy walrus mustache and a big broom. He was once considered a dark-horse candidate for the top job, but his star rose over the past three years. Dispatched to Auburn Hills, Mich., to sort out Chrysler, he has led a remarkable turnaround at the company, which swung back into the black in 2004 after years of heavy losses. In September Chrysler reported its 18th consecutive month of sales increases. In the U.S., Zetsche quickly wielded that favorite American management tool: the hatchet. He axed 26,000 jobs and browbeat suppliers...
Rising Sun & Beatle Blood. The most celebrated Push Pin alumnus is Peter Max, 28, a walrus-mustached native of Berlin. Max likes to explain that his flair for star-crossed psychedelic patterns was instilled during his boyhood days in Shanghai, where he watched Buddhist monks painting at a nearby pagoda. Max's designs, exploited through corporate tie-ups with half a dozen companies including General Electric, and emblazoned on posters, cups, plates, decals, and medallions, make him the grooviest thing going. He zaps about Manhattan with his blonde, beret-crowned wife in a decal-covered 1952 Rolls-Royce with...
...crop of campaign posters plastered on the station's walls. They portrayed her husband, Wolfgang, a steelworker and union shop steward at ThyssenKrupp Stahl, in his silver blast-furnace smock and hard hat. The real surprise was not the larger-than-life apparition of Herr Teusch and his frayed walrus moustache, but the poster's message: an endorsement from this lifelong Social Democrat of the opposition Christian Democratic Union (cdu). "Did you see the poster? How can anyone who works at Thyssen join that party?" Angela says, recalling the outrage of her colleagues that day. As she draws...
...conquering neighbors, absorbing artistic styles, and creating a new, recognizable visual idiom. Objects from the first 150 years of their long rule - which ended in the early 20th century - are represented by the gold-decorated ceremonial sword of Süleyman I ("the Magnificent"), its hilt of walrus ivory missing the precious stones it once held; colorful caftans belonging to Mehmed II ("the Conqueror"), as well as the sketchbook he may have carried to lessons as a young prince. "Turks" ends with a flourish: the opulent peak of Ottoman influence more than four centuries ago, when the rulers subsidized...
...strangely soothing bedtime story, illustrated by charmingly simple drawings. A polar-bear cub ventures out of the cozy den where her mother sleeps, drawn by "something in the moonlit stillness [that] quietly beckons. What is it?" The air of expectancy and mystery builds as she passes other sleeping animals--walrus, seals, whales--and arrives atop a mountain of snow, where "she waits, wondering." The moon, her companion, waits with her. Then a spectacular shower of shooting stars lights up the world and the other animals, and the little bear shines bright too. After this moment of mystical harmony with nature...
