...booth before you did. What's more, he saw it for free, in the comfort of his private home-screening room. Phung isn't a movie star or a Hollywood insider; he's a junior at the University of Texas who makes $8 an hour at the campus computer lab. But many big-budget Hollywood movies have their North American premieres in his humble off-campus apartment. Like millions of other people, Phung downloads movies for free from the Internet, often before they hit theaters. Phone Booth will fit nicely on his 120-GB hard drive alongside Anger Management, Tears...
Meanwhile, top virologists in the U.S., Canada, Hong Kong, Germany and several other nations have linked up to create a sort of virtual research lab. Their goal: to understand the virus itself. They identified the SARS virus several weeks ago, and now they are trying to come up with diagnostic tests. That's crucial. Early SARS cases present the same fevers, muscle aches and diarrhea as flu victims, and without a way to distinguish between them, the public-health system could be quickly overwhelmed...

Like Law & Order, which steals from the New York Times, Bruckheimer also steals from the news, only his source material is the tabloid New York Post...
...progenitor, and Soldier of Fortune, Inc. (1997) finally overestimated America's interest in killing foreigners. Then he hired Jonathan Littman, the Fox executive who oversaw The X-Files and Beverly Hills, 90210, to run his TV company and instructed him to develop a show about a crime-scene-investigation lab. "We basically said we wanted to make Quincy for people who don't need an oxygen mask," Littman says. "We go into the body, making it almost three-dimensional. We have made TV director-centric as well as writer-centric. TV is moving toward high definition. We'd all better...
