...gallery of elegant, gorgeous, witty leading ladies that Britain showcased in the years just after World War II is crowded and entrancing: Deborah Kerr, Claire Bloom, Kay Kendall, Joan Greenwood, Dorothy Tutin and of course Audrey Hepburn - whose career was launched as the princess in Roman Holiday because Howard Hughes, the owner of Simmons' contract at the time, refused to loan her out for the role. She determined never to be indentured to a studio again, and as a freelancer forged a strong résumé that cast her opposite Marlon Brando, Laurence Olivier, Robert Mitchum (twice with each...
...Cadbury, Kraft will be under pressure to cut costs and raise margins at the British company. To some, that spells job cuts. The British trade union Unite claimed earlier this month that some 7,000 Cadbury workers would be under threat if the proposed takeover went through.

...years they - and François Truffaut and Claude Chabrol - were writing for Cahiers du Cinéma, which Rohmer edited from 1956 to 1963. No film magazine was so influential as Cahiers in those years. The young firebrands excoriated the prevailing French cinema and championed Hollywood directors like Howard Hawks, Samuel Fuller, George Cukor and Alfred Hitchcock.

The lessons: prestige directors get to spend more money, and, in dollar terms, their "personal vision" can look astigmatic to the mass audience. (And great to critics, who put the Mann and Jonze films on their 10-best lists, and would rightly fret if big-budget assignments went only to hacks.) Consider, too, that none of the first seven...
...most important thing is to be honest with yourself," says Howard Josepher, a former heroin addict and president of Exponents Inc., an organization that provides support and educational services to people with substance-misuse issues. "You need to know the difference between enjoying yourself and self-medicating. It's not that self-medicating is necessarily bad - but you should give yourself parameters. If you are adhering to them, O.K. If not, you need to check yourself." (See the 2009 year in health...
