...9/11, long before it won the coveted Palme D'Or award on Saturday evening. The film's first screening, on a Monday at 8 a.m., got blanket news coverage; a dozen or so radio and TV crews circled the U.S. critics to get their early reaction. Meanwhile, Miramax Films co-chairman Harvey Weinstein, whose Disney bosses had forbidden him to release the film, was dealmaking with a flock of U.S. distributors hoping to profit from the film's marketable notoriety.

...third of its biotech companies. The bond initiative, if it passes, would pay to build 12 to 15 new stem-cell research centers, a massive magnet for scientific talent.

It was an early schedule this year. I don’t think...
...seven nominations last week, but its sponsor, Miramax, has to be disappointed that star Nicole Kidman and writer-director Anthony Minghella, both previous Oscar winners, were stiffed--not to mention the film itself, denying Miramax a Best Picture finalist for the first time in 12 years. The company's co-chairman Harvey Weinstein is still determined to find the pony in the manure. "With Cold Mountain, City of God [which got Director, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography and Editing nods] and The Barbarian Invasions [Foreign Language]," he insists, "this is the moment to say, All right, we're there...
