Among actors of the past 30 years, star meant action star. Action movies, however expensive they may be, still often make more money abroad than at home. But longtime studs like Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris will all be 60 or older this year; they've either cut way down on movie work or found other employment. And few youngsters have risen to take their place.

Hagel has toyed with the idea of running for the G.O.P. nomination. But he's an outsider now within the Republican family; having attacked Bush, he'd be doomed in a G.O.P. primary. Hagel's only avenue, like Bloomberg's, would be a third-party bid. It doesn't hurt that Hagel happened to make millions...
