Concentration in Austrian retail arena

Article Abstract:

Rewe subsidiary Billa sets standards in Austrian retailing especially since acquiring much of the Meinl portfolio. The firm has increased its market share to over 35 percent, and the gap between it and Salzburg-based Spar has widened in an acquisition battle between Billa and Meinl. Austrian authorities limited the scope of the Meinl/Billa deal in Vienna and Eastern Austria. Billa, Spar and Adeg are the big three firms in the Austrian retail sector.

Mind games: sometimes there's nothing better than a perfectly wild theory to explain how the world works

Article Abstract:

Theories about the nature of nature are often dismissed as not being the prevailing one for the day. A man remembers his thrill at looking at a map in high school and seeing the relationship of continents. His teacher told him it was not true. Today scientists do believe in plate tectonics.

Portraits of the mental patient as inspired artist: near Vienna, residents of the Gugging mental hospital are commanding top gallery spaces - and top prices - for their art

Article Abstract:

Dr. Leo Navratil asked patients to draw as a way to express their feelings in the 1950s and showed some of the works to artist Jean Dubuffet, who determined they were outsider art and began exhibiting them in 1970. The artists are more dimensional than non-artists.
