Steven Soderbergh wants you to see movies the way he sees movies. When he and his cinematographer finish a film, they lift it out of its chemical bath and take it to a projection booth for its first and most perfect screening. The color and contrast are true and bright from edge to edge, free of dust and precisely in focus. "Nobody, including us, ever sees it that good again," says Soderbergh, the Oscar-winning director of Traffic and Erin Brockovich. "Even after that first screening, it's got dirt on it and scratches...
...herd sheep, even if he had any. "Field lice," as he called them, were far too stupid and too prone to disease. Seeing my city slicker's crushed expression, he did offer me the chance to douse a few of his dairy cows with a de-worming bath, but the intermittent late summer showers ruled that...
...entrees exemplify the restaurant’s African-western fusion. The grilled sea bass, a traditionally western dish, was presented atop a bath of tahini.

"You fat f___!" exclaimed Katzenberg at one point, echoing a sentiment not uncommon in Hollywood but usually muttered behind...

The King's 40-year reign, the country's last taste of peace and prosperity, was ended by a coup in 1973 while the monarch was in Italy for mud-bath treatments. At an interview with TIME, the King appeared in notably better health than he did five months ago, when world leaders began looking to him to help fill the vacuum left by the Taliban. Still, he is 87 years old. "But this is the very reason for my return...
