...exhausting offscreen as off, Hutton married four times: to Reeves camera scion Theodore Briskin; to choreographer Charles O'Curran, who went on to dream up dance routines for Martin and Lewis, Hope and Crosby and Elvis; to Alan Livingston, who created Bozo the Clown and, as head of Capitol Records, lured Sinatra, the Beatles and the Beach Boys to his label; and Big Band Hall of Fame jazz trumpeter Pete Candoli - the wedding of two brassy instruments. All these unions ended in divorce, and Betty would later say she was happy in none of them. She also became estranged from...

It may be easy to mock Couric's palsy-walsy tone and Anchorman references, but at least she's trying to get new viewers' attention. Is change good for its own sake? In one way, yes. There's an intangible complacency that comes when you decide your mission...

Hoberman, a visiting lecturer on visual and environmental studies, said the book will focus on the films that he believes reflect the angst that gripped America during that decade. The book will be a prequel to his 2003 work “The Dream Life: Movies, Media, and the Mythology of the Sixties.” “I focus on movies that have a greater degree of intentionality,” Hoberman said. “I get a lot of ideas by looking at the movies and the production story...
