Indonesia's Democratic Party elects new head

A 40-year-old politician on Sunday won a surprising victory over the two top contenders in the election to lead Indonesia's largest political party.

Anas Urbaningrum was elected chairman of the Democratic Party in a two-part vote Sunday at the conclusion of the party's three-day Congress in the west Java city of Bandung, party official Evert Ernst Mangindaan announced.

The outcome shows that the party of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is looking to a younger generation of politicians to take on the political maneuvering necessary to stand off against the opposition or even pro-government coalition parties.

"The Subversive Charm of the Bourgeoisie"

VAN ABBEMUSEUM

Like many European and American museums, the Van Abbemuscum was founded by a wealthy iiultistrialist. In "The Subversive Charm of the Bourgeoisie," artworks and documents from the museum's collections were combined with recent works that are said to contain "bourgeois elements." In a Europe beset by discussions about (the need for) a renewal of bourgeois values or of a bourgeois lifestyle, such an exhibition is timely, although it turned out to be at least as confused as those discussions. In the media, the historical-and by now largely defunct-bourgeoisie is often turned into a …

Russia Opposition to Field Candidates

MOSCOW - Russia's most vocal opposition alliance said Thursday it would seek to field hundreds of candidates in December parliamentary elections, setting ambitious goals in the face of government pressure.

The Other Russia coalition will nominate 450 candidates and demand that authorities allow their participation even though none of the organizations in the alliance is registered as a political party, said Eduard Limonov, one of the group's top leaders.

The strategy appears likely to lead to confrontation with the Kremlin ahead of the parliamentary election and the March presidential vote. It may be …

GM hoping for speedy sale and exit from Chapter 11

Detroit-based GM said it has reached a memorandum of understanding with a buyer for Hummer, though it did not name the buyer or the price. The automaker said the sale will likely save more than 3,000 U.S. jobs in manufacturing, engineering and at various Hummer dealerships.

"We're not today in a position to be able to identify a buyer. It was part of the agreement," GM Chief Executive Fritz Henderson told CBS's "The Early Show." "We …
