George Mason Coach Jac Cicala instructed his players to turn up the heat on Harvard (13-3-2) early, and they responded, pinning the Crimson back in its own half for the first 10 minutes of the game...
...this puts Sony Pictures in the ambiguous position of being simultaneously red-hot and not exactly. After the studio releases Zorro and Godzilla next summer, it's not clear what major projects it will have on its menu. In an industry that retains heat about as well as plastic, the cry is predictable: Show us the movies...
...thrust himself into what had been a very personal battle between Hilton CEO Stephen Bollenbach and ITT boss Rand Araskog--and thus into the public spotlight. Sternlicht is a Wall Street darling. His stock, including dividends, has soared 86% in the past year.

The scenes feel at times like someone spent too much time at film school, but it makes them interesting to watch, even if you think you know what...
