...just about photo ops, but TV images matter in shaping voters' views. From his dramatic overseas trip to his high-profile meetings at home, Obama is aggressively seeking out stronger political environments than McCain is. Part of McCain's problem: his numerous fund-raising requirements limit his schedule. A glut of media attention for Obama and a McCain campaign video of mawkish journalists fawning over the Democrat appeared to galvanize the press corps into reassessing its Obamamania, much as a February Saturday Night Live spoof caused it to make a slight midcourse correction during the Clinton-Obama nomination fight...

There's a glut of Chinese and Indian factories competing for Western clients, so if a factory doesn't pass audits, multinationals can just walk across the street. With the Chinese workweek capped at about 50 hours (including overtime), strict new labor laws and growing competition for workers, it's getting tougher to comply with the law, pay the minimum wage, make order deadlines - and earn a profit.

...early scenes, fastidious viewers may be wearied by a glut of comic references - to movies of the '50s (The Thing from Another World) and the '70s (Apocalypse Now) - that should probably be deleted from the anything-for-a-joke book. The movie also briefly and unnecessarily invokes the voices of Henry Kissinger and JFK. But ransacking pop culture is what cartoons do, and not just the gag-strewn Shrek movies. Clampett's Horton Hatches the Egg has a Katharine Hepburn bird, a Peter Lorre fish (that commits suicide!) and the Horace Heidt novelty hit "The Hut Sut Song." Even...
