...from that of most Oscar winners, who have complicated agendas they need to get across in 45 seconds. The only time I accomplished something this difficult in 45 seconds was in high school, and I had intended to make it last much longer. (See pictures of Star Trek's greatest villains...

That’s one of its greatest frustrations—not having enough time to take the classes you want to take. Now my kids are there and they can study all the things I wish I had had time to study...

It was perhaps never more poignantly played out than during the two greatest maritime disasters in history: the sinking of the Titanic and the Lusitania.

"The clouds are changing every second and form a very dramatic stage set. If I were to say anything, it's the greatest plus to the resort." The said resort is Ritz-Carlton's Phulay Bay - the first of a new type of supersecluded, ultra-luxurious bolt-holes that the chain calls "reserves." It is one that Bunnag designed, and he was clearly preoccupied with rather more than the color of the curtains...
