...subtly different from what their opponents use, but it's not better (nor particularly high-priced). In F1, however, some cars are indisputably better than others. Recently, those superior cars have belonged to Ferrari and McLaren, and no matter how good a driver you may have been, if you weren't with one of those teams you were not going to win a world championship. Seven drivers representing five teams didn't score a single point in last year's championship, meaning they failed to finish eighth or better in any of the 17 races...
...achieve by joining another team? -Chris McHale, New York CityWhen I went to Tampa to meet with the Steinbrenners and when I did say goodbye to the Yankees, I certainly didn't envision myself doing any more of this. But the last three years in New York really weren't a lot of fun. I just wanted to see if managing could be fun again. It's a great life, and I'm not ready to lose the excitement...

...persuading established artists to stick around is especially tricky when labels are asking for a bigger slice of the revenue pie. Traditionally, when record companies signed an artist, they bought into the promise of an album; an act's other sources of cash - its concerts, say, or merchandise sales - weren't any of the label's business. But now, with album sales plummeting, music companies are chasing juicier income from touring and branded goods. Part of that revenue stream figures in Live Nation's $120 million deal with Madonna. Likewise, U.S. rock group Korn now carves up its nonmusic income...
