...members, who had paid from $85,000 (in the early days) to $1.3 million (in more recent years) to join, could lose most of their deposit. The firm owned only 67 of the 200 properties it managed (the rest were leased) and did not have sufficient assets to cover the expense of refunding membership fees...
...flabbergasted that your cover in the wake of the Democratic election triumph was a Venn diagram with the headline "Why the Center Is the New Place to Be" [Nov. 20]. Huh? The Democrats kicked butt. You should have put Howard Dean on the cover. It was his 50-state strategy, along with the great fund-raising work of Congressman Rahm Emanuel and Senator Chuck Schumer, and great candidates with grass-roots support, that won the election...

There's the hard-shelled antihero, Jake Geismer (George Clooney), returning to Berlin, where he was a foreign correspondent before the war. His ostensible business is to cover the Potsdam conference. His real interest is in seeing whether the great love of his life, Lena Brandt (Cate Blanchett), has survived and might possibly still love him. It takes him about a nano-second to find her and about the same amount of time to discover that...
