...love it. The second half of my book is quite dark - there's a lot of jokes in the first half and not many in the second half - and what Clooney and director Grant Heslov decided to do was make it a much more sweet-natured, slightly batty, feel-good film. It's sort of like Little Miss Sunshine goes...
This book began as an assignment for a TV show, right? It was first going to be a series about the Bush dynasty, and then I had this amazingly good trip to Hawaii where I met [onetime psychic spy] Glenn Wheaton, who told me about Project Jedi and training U.S. soldiers to reach Level 2 - "Intuition" - then Level 3 - "Invisibility," which I thought was such a great leap.

...poles, and both of them are going to be driven by the very high costs associated with battery technology. On the one hand, you're going to find small, very light commuter cars, with relatively spartan equipment.

[These will be] emotionally styled luxury cars because...
...Further expansion in Asia may be a good bet. Last year, roughly a quarter of Disney's revenue came from overseas operations. Asia contributed just 5%, but leisure-industry experts are bullish about the region's potential. Last year, eight of the world's top 20 amusement parks (by number of visitors) were in Asia, according to a report by Themed Entertainment Association, based in Burbank, Calif. The buzz in Shanghai is already tangible. "Chinese consumers have a lot of love for Disney," says Rein. "They're more excited about Disneyland than the Expo...
