...instantly became one of Hollywood's great scandals--the mysterious death of Thomas Ince during a cruise on William Randolph Hearst's yacht in 1924. Officially he died of natural causes, but rumor had Hearst murdering him. This film opts for the juicier tale. It has a lovely performance by Kirsten Dunst as Marion Davies, Hearst's beloved mistress; she makes us see why someone might kill to keep her love.

Starting at 6 a.m., a TV reporter stands in the dark outside the federal courthouse for a "live" report on the preceding day's testimony and the promise of ongoing coverage. Each new day brings juicier details. But most revealing has been the harsh light shed on Atlanta's thriving adult entertainment industry...
...moment, forget about conservation. And renewable energy. As George W. Bush gets ready to raise the curtain on his vice president's more-oil, more-coal, more-nukes long-term energy plan Thursday, he's left the Democrats a political opening bigger and juicier than any environmental outcry: Gas and electricity prices this summer...
