...Slobodan Milosevic, old habits die hard. He has been away from home for more than a year now, held by the United Nations at its war-crimes tribunal in the Hague. But each morning he returns to Serbia via the airwaves, the familiar pink cheeks and silvery hair reclaiming their place on TV sets across the former Yugoslavia. For the president of the National Committee for the Liberation of Slobodan Milosevic, an organization of hard-liners, it's a welcome sight. "I am proud of our President," says Bogoljub Bjelica. "He is superior in every way." That view is widely...
...brands are the foundation of P&G's makeover, its faster-growing, more lucrative beauty and health-care businesses--once considered the company's poor stepchildren--are providing the shine. That's why Lafley last year made P&G's biggest acquisition ever, paying $5 billion for Clairol's hair-care business. The beauty and health-care sectors together account for about a third of P&G's $40 billion in annual sales and could reach 40% within the decade. Most of Procter's next generation of billion-dollar brands will probably come out of this area, which includes Olay...
...Actonel, for instance, the company set up bone-density screenings in chains like Wal-Mart. Pantene, a billion-dollar brand that had reached a plateau, has practically reinvented its marketing pitch and as a result is growing by double digits.

Olay, which has shed its greasy "Oil of" moniker, created early buzz about its Daily Facials cleansing cloths by handing out samples at subway and bus stations...
...salesman Justin Guarini. The show followed 10 would-be stars as they vied for a recording contract by singing hoary pop standards, with the TV audience eliminating one contestant a week. Down to the last two, it looked as though the electorate might be swayed by Justin's topiary hair and solicitous smile. But in the show's laboriously drawn-out two-hour finale, Clarkson's vocal gifts prevailed. Now if only we could get Americans to be as discerning--and involved--on Election...
...many ways Rockwell is the anti-architect. Not for him the clinical cool so often associated with designers. He's warm and avuncular, the kind of guy who welcomes dogs and children in the office. He doesn't even look intimidating: Barry Manilow hair, jeans unfashionably cut and those half-shoes, half-sneakers by Merrell. He's solicitous and courteous, and after he invites you to the theater he writes to thank you for coming. His forthcoming book, Pleasure, lists about 120 built projects, which is a very high number for a 46-year...
