...emotional coolness of her upper-crust tormentors. Johansson brings to the role a ferocity touched by terror that is new to her work. And impressive. It surely draws on Allen's rich writing but not necessarily his directing. He's famously hands-off in that department, which is just fine with Johansson. "I guess he hires actors he thinks will be capable of rounding out the characters he's written," she says. "I think actors appreciate that kind of respect." Allen has returned the compliment in the most meaningful way he can, by hiring Johansson for his next picture...

But it didn't address why advisers say hourly workers should take cuts in pay and benefits when the automaker frequently touts the quality of its products. If assembly-line workers are putting cars together so well, they should not be the ones to suffer so much in a restructuring. Sandy McLendon Marietta, Georgia...
