...Great Oscar Giveway, as it is known, is the brainchild of Brian Mullaney, the president of Smile Train, who spent 20 years in advertising before starting the not-for-profit organization. It was his idea to make the documentary and aim for an Academy Award. (Probably not coincidentally, one of Smile Train's publicists used to work for Harvey Weinstein.) Having achieved that, he wants the movie to have a long tail. "Our biggest challenge is awareness. Nobody cares about clefts," he says.

...great recession hasn't been great for free trade. As unemployment has risen throughout the world, governments have become more focused on protecting their own industries than on promoting international commerce. The U.S., typically an enthusiastic supporter of open markets, included "buy American" clauses in its stimulus package and propped up its flailing auto industry with handouts. Although a meeting of ministers in New Delhi in early September promised to restart long-stalled World Trade Organization negotiations aimed at reaching a global consensus on freer trade, wide differences remain between developed and developing nations that make a final deal difficult...
