...Hughes' explanation rang true for reporters who had watched her try to tutor her son Robert, now 15, in algebra on the campaign plane or had tracked her down by cell phone in the bleachers at one of his baseball games. It was clear that the former Army brat was never comfortable with having hauled her family to Washington. When Condoleezza Rice woke her at 5:15 one morning a year ago to tell her the spy-plane crisis with the Chinese had been resolved, Robert yelled from his bedroom in the rented Washington house, "I hate working...
...boys leapt into the limelight last April with the launch of the show Meteor Garden on Taiwan's Chinese Television System. Women of all ages gushed over the romantic tale of a poor girl hooking up with a member of a rich brat-bully pack at an ?lite Taipei high school. (Mainland Chinese authorities were less enamored, saying it misled young viewers; Beijing recently banned the show after a few episodes aired on some local television stations.) The TV plot was adapted from a Japanese manga comic called Hana Yori Dango (Men Are Better Than Flowers). Chai, a variety-show...

I believed if I could micromanage one aspect of my life, or maybe two, everything else would fall into place. I would suddenly have everything I ever wanted. The unfortunate part of my strategy was that I didn’t have a clue what ‘everything I ever wanted’ was. Not one single aspect...
Being Coppola--sire of the Godfather films, mogul of his own Zoetrope studio, vintner and publisher, capo di tutti capi of the Movie Brat generation--he would not come up with any old director's cut. Apocalypse Now Redux is more than a tinkering, with a brief scene added here, some computer effects daubed in there. It is a complete recutting of the original 5-hr. assemblage; the 2 1/2-hr. running time of the 1979 version has been expanded to include 53 minutes of previously unshown footage. If any recut can be a "new" movie, this one is--vivid, harrowing...
