...would be easy to watch the alliance in action and imagine the division of labor: head and heart, business and culture; one side brings the money, the other side the buzz. But like many great teams, this one is more than the sum of its symbols.

Many observers have railed about favoritism shown to the ageing captain. But the team's problems go beyond George Gregan. Success in rugby - an infuriatingly stop-start game - starts with the scrum, and Jones...
Skoll's bet on movies with a message may pay off yet. Syriana, Participant's venture with Clooney, and its third and most ambitious movie to date, opened nationwide in late November and has received favorable reviews and plenty of buzz. Based on the book See No Evil by former cia operative Robert Baer, the film looks at the danger of U.S. reliance on Middle Eastern oil. The film may earn back its investment.
