...iPhone has been out for a while. Flat-screen TVs, Nintendo's Wii and PlayStation 3 were big last year, which means not as many will show up on Christmas lists this year - though lower priced games for the consoles will. We have no shearling boot craze or jean shortages. Instead, lower ticket items like the popular video game Guitar Hero III and Barbie Girls MP3 Players are big, and accessories such as handbags will do well. Dave Sievers from Archstone Consulting predicts a $7 billion increase in gift cards this season, reaching $35 billion, compared to the $28 billion...
France's movie industry, the world's largest a century ago, has yet to recapture its New Wave eminence of the 1960s, when directors like François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard were rewriting cinematic rules. France still churns out about 200 films a year, more than any other country in Europe. But most French films are amiable, low-budget trifles for the domestic market. American films account for nearly half the tickets sold in French cinemas. Though homegrown films have been catching up in recent years, the only vaguely French film to win U.S. box-office glory this...
...Jean-Paul Sartre, the giant of postwar French letters, wrote in 1946 to thank the U.S. for Hemingway, Faulkner and other writers who were then influencing French fiction - but whom Americans were starting to take for granted.

Causse's Paris-based T-shirt company, Bluebretzel, offers three unisex shapes in "mythic" shades. So if you are obsessed with the raspberry color of Berthillon ice cream (above) or the brown of the Mona Lisa's eyes, he has replicated those colors exactly on fair-trade cotton T shirts with 5% cashmere fibers. Causse, a former advertising executive, has replicated other iconic colors, such as the original rust shade of the Eiffel Tower, the black of Beluga caviar at Caviar Kaspia...
...Much of the play’s mood comes from incidental music composed for “The Tempest” by Jean Sibelius in 1925. Under the direction of Julia S. Carey ’09, the chamber orchestra near the back of the stage produces a warm, friendly sound. Early in the play, the island ruler (and rightful Duke of Milan) Prospero (Jason M. Lazarcheck ’08) recounts the tale of his exile to his daughter Miranda (Lauren L. Creedon ’11). As he speaks, six dancers take the stage to illustrate his story...
