...when financial considerations trumped all. However, some experts say privately that Indonesia's move may be a temporary gesture to please constituents during an election year. "There's greater attention being paid and more reporting and willingness of police and governments to take action in these cases," says Alan Boulton, Director of the International Labor Organization's Jakarta office. "NGOs have been able to bring attention [to] abuse cases...
...storage basket, toys and an ostrich-feather fan - testify to pastoral ways of life. These people make little representational art, yet it's hard not to hear an elegiac note in their clay figurines of cows and camels. They're made by Darfur children, says museum spokes-woman Hannah Boulton, "who dream of the large herds they will tend when they grow up."

...Tell that to Frederick Warren-Boulton, a leading economist and current Justice Department witness. Warren-Boulton offered what may well become the feds' counter-spin: That Microsoft's exclusive contracts and illegal monopoly leverage drove its bruised browser rivals into the arms of AOL. Meanwhile, a more cultural argument was being made on bulletin boards across the Internet -- that the mainstream will always appropriate successful companies that operate on the fringe.
