...excess dysfunction. It used to not be ghettoized in setting because black people weren't always urban people, but the same images can be found in American history for centuries. So this idea that a certain kind of sexual deviance or violent behavior defines black culture has had a huge market in commercial mainstream culture for at least 200 years. Also, sexist images, which hip-hop has a lot of, seem to do very well across the cultural spectrum. So sexuality and sexual domination sell. Racial stereotypes sell. The market is more consolidated, which makes it easier for those images...
...approach. I would love to do more "real person" screenplays, somebody's life, like the average hero. I think there's a ton of historic Latin people whose stories need to be told. My dream is to do what I do on stage, on film. That's my huge quest in life. I want to take the comic, satirical, dark stories that I really am attracted to and put that on film...

But there are lessons to be learned from places that have been through this before and the authors of a new British guide argue that U.S. cities would do well to look to Europe for some tips.

...taxes for the prior two years. So if you made a million dollars for each of your past two years, and lost 2 million this year, your company would be allowed to get back all of the taxes paid for the past two years. This could result in huge corporate-tax rebates in 2008 and 2009. For instance, in 2008 there are projected to be 107 companies in the S&P 1500 that will lose money, as much as $80 billion. About half those companies were profitable in 2007, making nearly $30 billion as a group. That means, based...
