...mounting anthrax cases last week, some law-enforcement officials were equally disturbed by a less publicized crime in New Jersey. Authorities issued a national alert Wednesday morning after they learned that a tractor-trailer carrying what they thought might be hazardous materials had been stolen from Rockland Corp., a distributor of fertilizer and pesticides. Officials were relieved Friday when they found the truck's trailer, which contained 5 tons of lawn fertilizer. Rockland disclosed that the fertilizer in the truck was not the kind rich in ammonium nitrate, which can be used to build bombs...
...Fulbright scholar, brought a distinctly international flavor to the Brattle during a time when most Americans had seen very few non-Hollywood films. Harvey and Haliday helped rekindle interest in American classics that had long been forgotten.

Dre's distributor, Interscope Records, receives 4,000 requests a year from labels in such places as India, Turkey, Southeast Asia and Israel that want to add Dre tracks to international hip-hop compilations. Beyond his mere reach, Dre has also brought depth. Pepe Mogt, a composer who founded Tijuana's hip Nortec...
...besides just make the films," says Chae. "Nobody was doing international sales and promotion." He got the ball rolling by putting filmmakers in touch with buyers abroad whom he had met as a reporter. In the wake of Shiri and the growing buzz over Korean films at international festivals, distributors around Asia started to answer his calls. These days, the distribution channels are firmly in place, starting with Japan, the industry's biggest market. Tokyo-based distributor Cinequanon paid $1 million for Shiri, the first Korean film to open nationwide in Japan, where it sold 1.2 million tickets and pulled...
