...lamentations, and those of her fellow Chinese, may soon be reverberating around the world, and particularly loudly at big-box retailers like Wal-Mart in the West. That's because all those inexpensive exports gushing out of Chinese factories - the $15 sweaters, the $25 sneakers, the sub-$100 DVD players - may start getting pricier as the mainland struggles to bring its runaway economy under control. Not all economists agree it's inevitable, but some are warning that an era during which low-cost Chinese production helped to maintain unusually stable prices for manufactured goods around the world is coming...
...were. Eager to work with Woody Allen, George signed up for Small Time Crooks, where he was in exactly one scene. (Even there he was hard to spot: viewers got a good look at his left ear but not much else.) I'd love to direct you to the DVD or VHS of The Adams Chronicles, but that doesn't exist.

...that-that's my job," says Seinfeld. "To actually do your creative thing right in front of an audience and have them judge it right there-that's exciting." His life on the road was chronicled in the 2002 documentary Comedian, and Seinfeld does occasionally emerge to promote the DVD releases of his sitcom, but he has made no effort to cling to the global fame that it bestowed on him. To most people-the vast majority of fans who haven't been lucky enough to catch his stand-up act-he has seemed almost Johnny Carson-esque...
