Editor's Memo
It's time to announce BusinessWeek's top 50 performers, and this year's list is more global than ever. See if you're surprised by who made the cut. Also from the pages of the magazine, read about what the Bear Stearns tidal wave left in its wake. Our Insider Top Story this week looks at how the troubles in Tibet are reverberating in corporate boardrooms. Will Olympic sponsors Coca-Cola and others feel pressured to bow out?

From our Europe Channel, read about Zenith, an Israeli startup that has an efficient way of collecting solar energy. Check out our slide show on the video games you must own in 2008. And in our featured video: From the NY Auto Show, BW's David Kiley and David Welch tell you what's to love and what's to yawn at (plenty).
