SUMMONING the ghosts of one's past is always chancy, especially if you have ghosts like the ones floating around Donatella Versace. The theme of Ms. Versace's ebullient and smartly paced show of men's wear for spring 2006 on Monday were drawn from a high point in the history of that troubled house, namely the Miami years. And the sound track for the show echoed the theme with irresistibly inane feel-good dance tunes like "Walking on Sunshine." The program notes, too, made reference to a sunnier era, one in which "the fresh colors of summer holidays and total freedom" gave evidence of "carefree days and endless nights."

Zhang is believed to be the wealthiest self-made woman in the world. According to Rupert Hoogewerf, who set up the Huran Report in 1999 which lists wealthy people in China. She is richer than the U.S. television host Oprah Winfrey and author of the Harry Potter series JK Rowling.
However, her low profile has helped her remain largely unknown over the past years.
Zhang made her first appearance on the list of richest people on the Huran Report in 2003, ranking 17th with 2.5 billion yuan. In 2005 Forbes's China Rich list, listed Zhang as 107th richest with 1.5 billion yuan, according to the Xinmin Evening News.
The newspaper said Zhang's lawyer sent Rupert Hoogewerf a letter in 2003, saying that she didn't want her name on the list.
Born in a soldier's family in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, Zhang was the eldest sister to seven children. She went to Hong Kong in 1985 and started her career in waste paper trading with 30,000 yuan.

Creating Jobs

On a soft november day in northern california, steve jobs is guiding his gray Porsche convertible out of San Francisco, and he is talking about Apple Computer Inc. That, of course, is what Jobs is famous for: as a co-founder of Apple in 1976, he was a leader of the computer revolution, until he was ousted in 1985 in a board-room coup. Jobs was 30, and he walked away with $150 million but no small measure of hurt.
As he negotiates the Friday afternoon traffic on Route 101, Jobs keeps insisting that he does not want to talk about Apple. Then he goes on at length about how the company needs to reinvent itself, how it needs to regain its lost mantle as the personal computer industry's leading innovator. He is intimate but elusive, and undeniably articulate. He recalls his years at Apple fondly, then makes it clear that he is doing nothing more than reminiscing. After all, he has other things to worry about, like running Pixar, the digital-animation studio that created ''Toy Story,'' and overseeing Next, the computer-software company he started when he left Apple.
