Media Probe The U.S. Justice Department is investigating accounting practices at Time's parent, AOL Time Warner. The SEC is conducting a similar inquiry...
...decade veteran of HBO, Bewkes, who holds an M.B.A. from Stanford, works as successfully with creative types as with number crunchers. He and Warner Bros.

He has since changed the economics of producing everything from DVDs to disposable contact lenses and solar-energy cells. His customers include Johnson & Johnson, Royal Dutch Shell, Warner Music and--sweetest of all--his old employer, Philips. "This is a new type of Industrial Revolution--we are killing expensive clean rooms," says Kok, CEO of OTB-Group, with offices in Eindhoven, Hong Kong and Irvine, Calif...
