...bosses can look without distraction to their end-of-year prestige items. Just as the summer block-buster has become its own genre, so has the December "film of quality." Typically, it has a remote setting: a Pacific island in the 1930s for Kong, World War II London for The Chronicles of Narnia and Mrs. Henderson Presents. It may be based on fact (The New World) or fiction (Memoirs of a Geisha). It may even have similarities to warm-weather fare. Steven Spielberg's winter drama, Munich, like his summer fantasy, War of the Worlds, portrays a deadly surprise attack...
...more chins, but Lou looked the same. Murph had shaved his head to mask his baldness, but the the middle-aged rockers wasted no time showing that time had not dulled their edges.Dinosaur Jr.’s sonic assault is total war; bunker-buster riffs penetrated earplugs with sheer volume. The band kicked things off with “Gargoyle,” from their eponymous debut album. J’s guitar and hair swept over the floor as he rocked back and forth, dispelling concerns of old age. Both young and old sang along to the grimy...
...most famous for another radio show he brought to TV, in 1952. On This Is Your Life, each program surprised a guest with live reminiscences from loved ones and shrewdly capitalized on the new medium's capacity for intimacy, chronicling riveting, often weepy stories of the famous (Buster Keaton, Bob Hope, Marilyn Monroe) and sometimes the less famous (Holocaust survivor Hanna Bloch Kohner).

Many now demand that buyers pledge in writing that they'll actually occupy the home they buy (or at least disclose whether the unit will be a primary or secondary residence or merely an investment). Others, like Robins, limit the number of units a person can purchase in any one development; and some, like StarPointe Properties of Arizona, are requiring investors to close on (and take title to) the property they're buying. Hilton and Meritage, as well...
...like Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, are making sure the Lord is not outgunned. Their junior high worship area features a million-dollar sound system and mammoth movie screens that play to an audience of as many as 1,000 teenagers on Sundays. Prestonwood's executive pastor, Mike Buster, makes no apologies for the slick production values. It takes a good show to expose kids to the good word, he says, because there is so much competition from what he calls a "perverted" teen culture...
