...This season, to celebrate the centenary of the first Ziegfeld Follies (which opened at the Jardin de Paris, Broadway and 44th Street, on July 8, 1907), the Encores! management led by Jack Viertel staged three musicals inspired or produced by Ziegfeld's grand old revues. These were extravagant revues featuring vaudeville stars, lavish production numbers and statuesque chorines in eccentric headgear, and they ran annually until 1925, then sporadically for another decade, even after the great impresario's death in 1932.

As head of the MPAA from 1966 to 2004, he championed open markets for movies, fought digital piracy...

He compares Siemens' dilemma to General Electric's when Jack Welch was forced to confront similar issues, and he believes the challenge for German industry is much broader. "Germany is now not unlike the U.S. in the 1970s, when there was a host of big corruption cases," he says. For Siemens, the end of the bad news is far from over. As Kleinfeld was making his parting statements, the SEC launched an official investigation into the company. And Siemens conceded that the amount...
