...says poor young Pip of the slightly older Estella. "I think she's very proud." Extraordinarily pretty and proudly defiant: that was the indelible first impression the 17-year-old Jean Simmons made on moviegoers in David Lean's Great Expectations in 1946, at the beginning of a long, full career that lasted from her early teens to her death on Jan. 22 at 80, in Santa Monica, Calif., of lung cancer. The actress's screen impact in her early flush of stardom could also be defined by another pair of clashing adjectives that a British distributor slapped onto...
...Guys and Dolls gig should have been Simmons' passport to full American stardom. Instead, it signaled her passage into two kinds of films: small dramas, like Hilda Crane, Home Before Dark and All the Way Home, where her character was the focus; and splashy epics that concentrated on the men. She dallied with Newman in Until They Sail, supported Peck as he made his way across The Big Country and in Spartacus was the slave who is bought by Olivier but pines for Douglas. There was some meat for her to gnaw on there, and in another 1960 film, Elmer...
...festival - and the industry across the country - is piracy. Like the latest chart topping CDs or DVDS, at stoplights around the country hawkers peddle cheap, illegal copies of the latest book titles at car windows for a fraction of the price.

"You drive down any of the main roads in Delhi, and you'll see all the latest titles for less than half...
...corner of the lawns, a tent houses a makeshift book store. Brimming with people, inside large metal racks are wobbly with books by authors near and far. A paperback copy of Malcolm Gladwell's latest is propped next to Nandan Nilelkani's home-grown bestseller. Privanka Malhotra runs Full Circle book stores, an independent chain of four stores, and has seen the difference that the influx of publishers has had on the the market. "The fact that now we have a lot of publishers that have come in from America and Europe, we have access to a lot more [books...
What started off as just an armchair and a footstool last Saturday (she wanted to make a couch at first, but the snow wouldn't hold), turned into a full-fledged living room by Monday, with a television, a television stand, a cat, and a dog. Kurrasch said she has even received e-mails from people who've sat in the chair and put their feet on the footstool. Many people, including the mail carrier, stopped and smiled as they walked past, and even the man who was shoveling the snow in the yard kept coming back to check...
