...hell breaks loose. In rapid order I hear from Mendiero Barrett, Dysson's V.P. of Pan-Pacific Integration ("Dysson is currently conducting a private inquiry into the suicide of Denny Reikert...") and from a recruiter who offers me, of all things, a job at Dysson and guides me to its Website www.dysson.com) which is written in creepy corporate prose and looks just as one would expect a "global telecommuting consortium" to look, complete with geeky employee photos and a client list that includes Time Warner, the parent company of this magazine. I hear from an anonymous employee...
...films have the audacity of the talkies' youth: you'll hear "hell" and "damn" in the 1929 Makers of Melody, see Calloway make love to a married woman, and get away with it, in Hi-De-Ho (1933). The films also showcase future stars, like Rogers, perky and alluring from the start, and Cary Grant, who made his movie debut in Chang's Singapore Sue. Some stars Hollywood couldn't figure out.

"The Graduate was a hell of an advertisement for the industry," says John Clark of Brown Plastics Engineering Co. "It's something you always think about," says Larry McCormack of Incoe Corp., who claims to have seen stills of the movie hanging in plastics-company offices all around the country. "It changed my life," says Vince Witherup...
...November, for example, I watched attentively as the votes of Californians were tallied live on the screen and the fates of the medical marijuana and affirmative action initiatives became known. In March, I rooted like hell (and with Ivy League pride) as Princeton got edged out by Cal in the first round of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. And in April, I paced and cursed as Fargo, the only decent film in a long time to have a shot at dominating Oscar night, was snubbed in nearly every category...
