...time top grosser. But the writer-producer-director-megamind--who in his spare time runs a film conglomerate that includes the Lucasfilm production outfit, the ILM visual-effects house and Skywalker Sound--says he was always aware of at least one Phantom risk: that Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi knight in training who would evolve into the sinister Darth Vader, was a kid. "I said, 'They're gonna hate this. They're gonna get really upset that I have a 9-year-old as the hero.' But what can I do? That's the story. I can't make...

Miramax executives, says a producer, "are like victims of abuse." Harvey became famous for his office tantrums, along with his combative intrusiveness during contract negotiations and his micromanaging of production. Add to that the fact that the brothers "spent money like...

But his successor, MIKE DAVIS, went some way in filling Knight's big sneakers last week when Indiana upset Duke, the defending national champion, 74-73 in the NCAA tournament. Davis grew up in crushing poverty in Alabama and had careers in football and basketball before he started coaching.
