...John McCain was furious that no studio heads showed up to testify before his committee. They all pleaded scheduling conflicts. So he set a second hearing for next week that the execs are expected to fit into their calendars. Nobody is suggesting a government body to meddle in popular culture. The real aim here is to intimidate the entertainment companies into reining in themselves, as they did with the bumptious movie-industry Hays office of the 1930s and '40s and the Comics Magazine Association of America, an industry group formed in 1954 after Senate hearings into bloody and smutty comic...
Jamon's death, however, has made Franklin furious. "I know he never got over his brother's death, his baby brother, six years apart," Les told TIME shortly after discovering Jamon's body. "But he promised me that he'd never hurt me the way his brother hurt me, and in the final analysis he broke his promise, and I'm very angry." He adds, "There will be no Jamon's place.

He left for his summer-vacation retreat in Sochi on the day of the accident and sent no messages of condolence to the fleet or to the furious families of the missing men. His officially published schedule told of phone conversations with foreign leaders but made no mention of briefings, consultations or expressions of concern about the Kursk. On Wednesday, dressed casually and looking tanned, he met with visiting academics to discuss at relaxed length problems of science, research and the brain drain...
...There will now be a lot of furious trying from a lot of them. B.B.'s doing Reebok. Ramona's doing entertainment journalism. Sean's on "Guiding Light" and "Extra"; Gervase is doing "The Hughleys" and trying out for John Travolta movies. Susan will be doing Metamucil from a truck cab within the month, if that venomous speech didn't take her out of the endorsement game. (It was scary.) Richard - who probably was, as the Internet gossips were saying, putting an addition on his house this summer, the old dog - seems relaxed about it, but he's also pitching...
