...waiflike Giannini has a deep voice and feline self-assurance. Her appointment to the top spot in 2005 came with an announcement of extreme corporate confidence that belied her scant experience: the brand aimed to double revenues through 2011. True, she was young, female and European and therefore uniquely in touch with her target customer. But Gucci's execs also knew that Giannini was a genius with handbags?fashion's red-hot commodity. She was, after all, one of the designers who helped create Fendi's blockbuster baguette, the tiny bag that ignited the accessories frenzy that continues to drive...

More than 90% of the animation for American films and television shows is processed in Asia, mainly in Japan and South Korea. Now, however, the $100 billion animation industry is rushing to tap the deep pools of young, well-trained artists in countries such as Singapore, China, India, South Korea and the Philippines...

Government ministers denounced the letter, one calling it "dangerous and foolish." The reaction showed that "well-adjusted, contented and successful British Muslims are considered the biggest traitors of all by the powerful in the British state," wrote columnist Yasmin...
...ethnic clashes have certainly exposed deep grievances over land and other resources. Much of the worst violence has occurred in the Rift Valley, where land ownership has always been politically sensitive. In the colonial era, the region's fertile farmland was reserved for British settlers. Britain sold it off to the newly independent government, which in turn parceled it out to members of the Kikuyu tribe, setting off a pattern of ethnic conflict in the Rift Valley that has persisted for much of Kenya's independent history. Many Kalenjins and others who had once lived there believed - rightly or wrongly...
