...reassemble an old musical needs a mix of showmanship and scholarship--a paleontologist's digging and Poirot's powers of inference.

"I agonize over this, because I want the score to sound exactly as it did originally." No reclamation project has been as daunting as that of St. Louis Woman.

So when a representative of the other Murdoch -- 20th Century Fox's VP Scott Neeson -- came to the hero's hometown Wednesday, he apologized and offered the local school $8,000 out of the movie's $1 billion-plus profits. Not enough, say Dalbeattieans, who are demanding that Fox clear officer Murdoch's name in the "Titanic" video credits. "Filmgoers all over the world will see him portrayed as a coward," complained school head Linda Kirkwood. Not to mention how bad Fox looks for dishing out what will undoubtedly be seen...
