...November deal inked with Ford to jointly turn out new compact cars in Poland. The company, which is particularly strong in Brazil, has been looking for expansion possibilities in India and China. Elkann may be especially suited for these global challenges, having lived all around the world as a youth. "Moving around, you adapt quickly to environments," he says. "If you are competent in many things, you don't have the depth of knowledge in any one field. I'm more long than deep. But fortunately for me, the family's interests were already diversified by both business and geography...
...escape of the infant son of a Kryptonian scientist, the discovery of the baby's spaceship by an elderly couple near the Midwestern town of Smallville. And the gradual revelations of the child's superhuman strength, the foster parents' exhortation that he "must use it to assist humanity," the youth's adoption of a dual identity--the mild-mannered, blue-suited newspaper reporter, Clark Kent, and the red-caped, blue-haired Superman, the man of steel ...

...young Theodore Roosevelt did not strike most people as promising enough to become one of the nation's greatest Presidents. His august Knickerbocker family had grown rich from generations of shrewd investments in real estate, banking, glass importing and even hardware.

It's not that these New Yorkers are incapable--they're just obstreperous, which makes the arrival of their first great rock album such a shock. They haven't rid themselves of their beloved guitar fuzz, but on songs like Reena and the sublime Jams Runs Free, the noise takes a backseat to focused songcraft and real, live hummable riffs. To top it off, Kim Gordon has emerged from her decade-long Nico-soundalike contest...
...security policies that will kick in next week, limiting adult access to personal information for 14- and 15-year-olds; MySpace users who are 18 or over could no longer request to be on a 14- or 15-year-old's friends' list unless they already know either the youth's e-mail address or full name. But experts question whether social network sites can prevent posters from lying about their age. The proposed changes "are inadequate because they lack any age verification and leave the minimum age too low," said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. "They fail to raise...
