...former FBI special agent who lived the Mafia lifestyle for six years in deep cover as Donnie Brasco, I can vouch for the authenticity of The Sopranos, the HBO phenomenon created by David Chase. I lived day and night with the Bonnano crime family of New York City, interacting with wiseguys and their families, attending Mob weddings, funerals and family get-togethers. Chase understands their subtleties, from the emphatic hand gestures to their unwritten code of honor...
...garnished from Cuban assets frozen in the U.S. under the rules of the economic embargo. Locating and collecting that dough will be hard and may require an O.K. from the White House. But Martinez's lawyers were confident enough last week to begin pushing banks like J.P. Morgan Chase to cough it up. The banks have yet to reply...

"Under my leadership over the past 15 years, Warnaco has built the best brands in the apparel industry...
...about Pearl Harbor, it's not a treatise, it's a movie. And as a movie, A.I. engrosses without quite enthralling. It's got technological wonders (the seamless integration of Teddy as a puppet and a computer image) that are truly wonderful. Scenes like the Flesh Fair and a chase through the woods display the supple camera work, dramatic lighting and savvy editing that you get when a terrific filmmaker is on his game. He isn't always, though. Intriguing plot twists (like the exploits of the nicely malicious Martin) are dropped for excursions that are more about art direction...
