...February, Whitman said that for eBay, "market leadership in China will be a defining characteristic of leadership globally." Lots of big-time CEOS say things like that these days. Few follow it up by summering in Shanghai. The company cast Whitman's stint in China as business as usual. "She goes there quite a bit [but] it's not too extraordinary," says Matt Bannick, president of eBay's international division. "You know, Meg travels a lot." Whitman, in an e-mail interview with TIME, says, "China is unique. It is growing rapidly, and it has a tremendous amount of potential...
...last week awarded $253.5 million to the widow of a man who died after taking the painkiller Vioxx. In the first verdict reached in more than 4,000 liability cases involving the drug--which Merck recalled last year after studies indicated a possible link to heart failure--the award cast doubt on Merck's strategy of fighting each case individually rather than seeking to have them rolled up in a class action.

While a 1994 retrospective installed the painter in the pantheon of Australian Modernism, "I actually believe this in a way undersells his achievements," says Stevenson, a graduate of Auckland's Elam School. "The story of his life seems somewhere between Gauguin and the hippy movement, and this aspect of his practice is also important and fascinating." Through his research, Stevenson began to see himself in Fairweather. The latter lived his last two decades as a virtual recluse on Queensland's Bribie Island, and the New Zealander, who moved...
...should be courting votes rather than controversy in the east. Some 26% of east German voters intend to cast their ballots for the Linksbündnis, according to Forsa. The appeal, Linksbündnis co-founder and former spd Finance Minister Oskar Lafontaine told Time, is that the party "offers an alternative. Wage- and salary-earners, pensioners, young people looking for education urgently need somebody who represents them in parliament." Merkel knows she needs to reach these groups, too. She never misses a chance to remind voters of Schröder's 1998 election pledge that if he couldn...
