Extractions: Last month, the Indian Foreign Office changed its lobbying firm, Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, McPherson and Hand, and named another public relations giant, Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer and Field as its new lobbyist in United States. The dumping of Verner had been expected for some time after the change of guard at the White House and the rise to power of the Republicans under George W Bush. Both Verner and Akin are public relations giants, with connections going to the highest levels of the US political establishment, and that is saying something in Washington, which is one heck of an arena for contending influence peddlers and would-be power players. According to one series of statistics, some 70,000 people are employed influencing or monitoring government actions in the capital. Among themselves, this brigade of influence-peddlers mops up annually about US$8 billion, if not more. The term lobbyist includes individuals - the lone wolves - as well as those who work in lobbying for law and public relations firms.

Edmund Capon, Director, Art Gallery of New South Wales The additional 720 square metres gives a central space dedicated to temporary exhibitions as well as providing more space for the permanent collection. So wide and diverse is the culture of Asia, that the imperative was a flexible space to present a challenging range of temporary exhibitions of Asian art - contemporary and traditional. This has been achieved, and the galleries respond to all the possibilities of exhibiting - from stone sculptures seen in filtered sunlight, to fragile silks requiring soft light and shadows. Clear lines, flexible spaces and variable light ensure that all types of art can be shown to their best advantage. As well as the new Asian galleries, this major building project includes alterations to the original Asian gallery, a temporary exhibition space - the Rudy Komon gallery - above the Art Gallery entrance foyer, with views of the ornately carved Vernon arches, new conservation studios, a café, a restaurant and dedicated function area with spectacular harbour views, and refurbishment of the administration area. The New South Wales State Government provided grants of $16 million for the Art Gallery of New South Wales to undertake this major building project.
