...regulations are likely to make the black boxes better known and therefore even more controversial. Some consumer advocates, such as Public Citizen's Joan Claybrook, want tougher rules compelling automakers to install EDRs in every car because objective crash data will lead to the design of safer cars and highways. Privacy activists want the government to prevent police and insurance companies from checking drivers' black boxes without permission. "We have a surveillance monster growing in our midst," says Barry Steinhardt of the American Civil Liberties Union. "These black boxes are going to get more sophisticated and take on new capabilities...

...Peter Lawford, say, in Good News - she wanted him to hit the books so he'd be eligible to win the big game. Her only severe competition came not from the script but on the screen. Her sweetness might get upstaged by a flashier femme, as she was by Joan McCracken in Good News. Sometimes Allyson lost to a rival from deepest movie memory. In Little Women she played Jo Marsh, the role a much nervier young thing from Broadway, Katharine Hepburn, had taken in the 1933 version...

...returned to Broadway as an autumnal star, headlining the French comedy Forty Carats (in a role that had been played by Julie Harris and Joan Fontaine). She signed up for a couple of stints in those employment agencies for geriatric actors, The Love Boat and Murder, She Wrote. (What, no Fantasy Island ?)

...movies have been telling these career-girl romances since Joan Crawford was a pup, and the notion that hard-driving bosses may have hearts of nougat underneath their crunchy dark chocolate coats is not exactly a novel one either. You can't blame Hathaway, who is a winsome actress, for this resort to cliché. When she has to out-maneuver Miranda's other assistant (Emily Blunt) for the most favored spot in the executive suite, she shows plenty of moxie. You're not exactly certain she knows exactly what she's doing, but you also see that...

...tree is a multi-family unit; Hannah's next-branch neighbors are professional tree-protectors John Quigley and Julia "Butterfly" Hill, and - for one night - Joan Baez. In Los Angeles, you really can shake a tree and a celebrity falls out. Hill, who is in the midst of a hunger strike that wound up lasting 26 days, encourages me as I ascend. "So often in our lives fear holds us back," Hill yells down at me, smiling. "And most of us miss out on the magic of life because of that one little word." I wonder if by week three...
