...says a Sydney lawyer who's worked closely with Lachlan Murdoch and James Packer over the years. "James has the softness of his mother, but he's extraordinarily numerate and has a bonhomie that he got from his old man. Lachlan is measured, reflective, highly intelligent. There's a hint of clean-cut, Princeton guilelessness about him, but there's also something behind those eyes that's constantly assessing." Different they may be, but Murdoch, 36, and Packer, 40, are friends and once again a team. They've joined forces to launch a $3.06 billion takeover bid for Consolidated Media...

...same time. She lives in a world of glamour, but she never truly becomes the coquettish socialite she aspires to be. Adams has a special talent for conveying how overwhelmed Delysia really is: she bounces around from one social event to another with great enthusiasm, but her wistful eyes hint that she wants more from life. Academy Award-winning actress Frances McDormand skillfully captures Miss Pettigrew’s understated wisdom. She speaks sparingly, but when she does, she says something either charmingly clumsy or surprisingly perceptive. Sometimes the sheer absurdity of her situation makes you laugh, but not without...

Both of those aspiring successors were dealing with incumbents whose numbers were still relatively healthy - Bush's, by contrast, are stuck in the low thirties and not likely to go anywhere with the economy worsening. Whatever help he gets from him in private, McCain needs to put distance between himself...

...urban refugees and hippie escapists from New York and Massachusetts in the 1960s and 1970s changed everything. Soon Vermont had ski resorts, billboard bans, chi-chi restaurants, yoga retreats, and liberal Democrats. "That was the kickoff for our spurt into the future," McLaughry says, with more than a hint of disapproval...

...Breaking Bad” is without any charms. The unique setting of Albuquerque, New Mexico adds regional flavor to the show. I’m also inordinately fond of Walter’s cerebral-palsy afflicted son, Walter, Jr., who’s played without a hint of maudlin sentiment by the excellent RJ Mitte. Anna Gunn does the best she can with the role of Walter’s meddling wife Skyler, but her part needs to be toned down a touch if the character is to be at all sympathetic.
