...into bullies, ready to take the natural law into their own hands. The film, directed by Alain Berliner from an original script by Chris vander Stappen, has the scheme of a socially fretful TV movie. Yet at heart, Ma Vie en Rose is a delightful comedy, both in its buoyant dream sequences and in Ludo's vagrant, clumsy stabs at embryonic machismo. Staring at himself in the mirror, he shoots off an imaginary gun, just like the other kids, and--he's really trying--adjusts his crotch...
...business model. Says Drew Peck, an analyst at Cowen & Co.: "You can't sell a $500 processor in a $1,000 PC."

But isn't that true for most music these days? What makes Brand New such buoyant, brassy fun is that Salt 'N' Pepa are savvy enough to market their own dues-paying and past success as an uptown version of street cred: call it Workhorse Chic...
...YORK: So what was it? Not a crash. Not even a panic, really. But when a scare in Hong Kong wafts west and sends the usually buoyant Dow plummeting as much as 230 points from the opening bell, something significant may be afoot ? even if things did settle in at down 186.88 by closing time...
