...smaller markets. But with Alexander the Last, which opened in every major market via Festival Direct at midnight on Saturday - along with four other South by Southwest titles - Swanberg says he's eliminated the window between his festival screening and home-video campaign, all the while substantially reducing the cost of a national release and maximizing the word-of-mouth buzz from his Austin premiere. By comparison, the Amy Adams comedy Sunshine Cleaning, which opened theatrically the day before Swanberg's screening, waited 14 months after its festival debut for an initial theatrical debut, on four screens...
...effectively taken a page out of the AIG playbook for gaming the Administration and Congress. Henry Paulson and his associates were led to believe, perhaps rightly, that if AIG failed it would cost other financial companies so significantly that the government would have to bailout almost every large financial firm in the country. GM's argument is even simpler. A liquidation of the car firm would probably cost tens of thousands of jobs at the company, and many times that at suppliers.

New transfer students will pay tuition while adding a very limited marginal cost to the College’s budget, requiring no new professors and being placed into existing advising programs. Although the addition of a few transfer students might require better selectivity in freshman admissions or a slightly greater burden on the House system, the benefits that they bring to the community far outweigh the costs. Harvard must reopen the option of accepting gifted transfer students, whether one, five, 20, or more. Divided among...
...launching a new line of expensive, high performance laptops. The new products will be called Adamo and will cost about $2,000. In a recession, consumers are likely to grab them off the shelves so fast the Dell will be out of inventory in a week. (See pictures of vintage computers...
