...event party has no shroud of loser gloom and allows for members of other tribes to visit. Kevin Spacey, for example, has no allegiance to Miramax Films, but he is a regular visitor to their parties. The reason for this intermingling is simple. One never knows when the informal bond that arises will pay off. Spacey may have a "vanity project" (the industry term for a quirky idea driven by a star's passion or ego) turned down by other studios. Attending parties and schmoozing with Miramax honcho Harvey Weinstein lays in place a rapport that might...
After dealing with the above challenges for an entire lifetime, there's an unspoken bond between tall women everywhere. Towering 11 inches over the average American female is a very distinctive experience. (I should mention that "tall" is a relative term. In France, 5'7" makes a woman tall; the tallest woman at Harvard, who is 6'11", doesn't consider me tall.) Very few women are in my direct line of vision, so when I see one, there's a little nod that's automatically given, a kind of "Hey, you're like me" nod of approval...

I think there's also always going to be a bond [among the ex-Cheiron guys]. We'll probably work together in the future on different projects. I hope so. If they want to. The important thing is that there's no differences. We're not mad at each other or anything...
...look like a high-end SUV, but you wouldn't want to cut it off at a STOP sign. Last week the U.S. Army unveiled a "James Bond-like concept vehicle," a modified Ford F-350 pickup with cutting-edge gizmos. The SmarTruck is just a prototype, but here's a preview of the tricks this "agile" and "lethal" rig may one day pull...
