...playing field was leveled--for about a minute. Along came the whisper number, and now "the official Wall Street estimates aren't worth the paper and ink used to produce them," asserts Chip Morris, manager of the T.

But if, after climbing (if she's lucky) two flights of stairs a free and working copy machine is located, she can move...
...losers, since Paramount gets control over domestic distribution of the comet movie Deep Impact, another joint venture to be produced--but not directed--by Spielberg. Meanwhile, the DreamWorkers should work on developing Spielberg's psychic abilities. Maybe they could have skipped all that trouble over the sitcom Ink and held off the splashy announcement about their dream studio at Playa Vista, where ground has yet to be broken...
