...guy jokes are as true for director Steven Spielberg and producer George Lucas as for the star. It's 27 years since Raiders of the Lost Ark started the Jones boy on his adventures, 19 years since the most recent Indy movie, The Last Crusade, and 30 years this month since Lucas and Spielberg sat on a Hawaiian beach and made a handshake deal for an action film that one would produce and the other direct. They'd be stupid to ignore the toll that time takes on moviemakers and movie stars. All were in their 30s when they made...
...people showed me the power of the image. 10. FM: Given the sensitive material that some of your work deals with, are there any reactions that stand out in your mind?

Twenty years ago, the bad guy wasn't China but an ascendant Japan, which was out to destroy the U.S. with its unfairly well built sedans, VCRs and microchips. The ballooning trade deficit with Japan was the hot-button political issue of the day, just as the yawning deficit with China is today. Japan was using "unfair" trade practices to disadvantage U.S. industry, many Americans believed. The Japanese were "manipulating" their currency, the yen, to make their exports extra cheap in the U.S. market, in the same...
