...hire a new CEO, a role Geffen took on at investors' request. Spielberg just wants to make movies; Katzenberg is CEO of the publicly traded animation company, which remains majority owned by DreamWorks' founders and early investors. Success has been spotty on all fronts. DreamWorks never built the studio complex it had planned and gave up on its TV, record and Internet ambitions. Its animated movies--other than the Shrek franchise--have been unspectacular. "Probably our eyes were bigger than our stomachs," Geffen tells TIME. "We made a lot of mistakes, and hopefully, we'll make fewer in the future...
...brown curly hair. As recovery crews and police investigators continue their work, forensic experts in surgical scrub suits are trying to identify the bodies of the dead at a makeshift mortuary at a military barracks in east London. The work inside the white marquees has been slow, painstaking and complex, leading to criticism from families of some of the missing.

But Half-Blood Prince turns out to be something...
...encounter, inside the Selfridges department store, an Arab-themed café offering its customers a “Bedouin” experience: on colorful cushions in a tent-like structure, young women surrounded by their shopping bags smoke hookah pipes. At this most superficial of levels, the commercial complex is able to combine Islamic and Western elements without any of the problems which crease the brows of the country’s politicians. Appearing on the BBC, Tony Blair, the British prime minister, and Jack Straw, the foreign minister, anxiously stress that the attacks are condemned by the many ordinary...
