...performances are mounted each year. "They are always on the lookout for not-very-well-known artists who tend to turn up in big exhibitions years later," says Baier. "They have a sense for who is good." tel: [49-30] 61 69 030; www.bethanien.de CAMERAWORK Rump calls Berlin the German "capital of photography," and Baier cites Camerawork for its "fully fledged innovative shows." The gallery is named after the legendary magazine published from 1903 to 1917 by photo pioneer Alfred Stieglitz - the period when photography was established as an art form. Camerawork displays photographs by greats like...
...consortium to forge a European answer to America's hegemony in civil aviation. Although the firm struggled during its first decade, funding from France, Germany, Spain and Britain helped keep it afloat - and still provides assistance today, though the company is flourishing. Airbus, which is owned by the Franco-German-based conglomerate European Aeronautic Defense & Space Co. and British-based BAE Systems, just finished an impressive second straight year of selling more planes than Boeing.

A few days after the tsunami, a Thai woman named Somsap Sukdi went to Phuket's provincial hall to pin up pictures of her missing German husband, Markus Knoesel. Now, carrying their 2-year-old son Jimmy in her arms, Somsap, tears streaming down her face, slowly walks the length of the notice board, removing those pictures. Knoesel's body was positively identified the previous day. "He's not missing anymore," she says softly, a widow...
...carefully. The pledges of aid made by governments are just that--pledges to help, not outlays of cash. Rather than write the U.N. a $4 billion check, governments pick and choose which relief and reconstruction efforts they want to fund. "It makes no sense just to give money," says German Chancellor Gerhard Schr??der. "Our people don't want that." At the donors conference in Jakarta last week, the U.N. launched an appeal for $977 million in short-term help over the next six months. Now it must go through the painstaking process of matching donors to dozens of projects...
