...time I knew none of this," says Peiji, sitting at his desk in his 11th-floor office. On the shelves are pictures of him with the President of Taiwan, the Vice President, the Prime Minister. His aides bring in files for his attention; he scans them, makes a few quick notes and tosses them on the floor, where his aides retrieve them. The night before, he put on another of his lavish dinners, with endless toasts and flattery for his guests. Now he is recovering by drinking heated apple vinegar--"cleans the stomach.

Want to know how desperate NBC is? They're pulling "Twenty One"--yup, the game show documented in Quiz Show that was infamously...
...With music now, everything is mushing together like a melting pot. It's like we need to bring back segregation in music. Rock 'n roll ended up just being mixed in with rap, techno is being mixed with rock 'n roll. It's really depressing, all this electronic bullshit, with rap this and rap that and pop this and Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, all with no artistic ability to create their own music. They're like made up by business people in a room somewhere...
