When it comes to reporting, the Wall Street Journal knows its business, but when it comes to running its own financial empire, the Journal's owner, Dow Jones & Co., has fallen woefully short.

Siemens '98), the guardian of Yum-Yum and her sisters, planned to marry the girl himself. As the play opens, Nanki-Poo has returned...
...diluted heap of cliches. The even greater tragedy is that the Grisham-studio team has swept up many a prominent director in its platitudes. Sydney Pollack (Out of Africa, The Firm), Alan Pakula (Sophie's Choice, The Pelican Brief), and Joel Schumacher (Falling Down, A Time to Kill) have fallen prey to the Grisham spell...
