...America's quintessential murder mystery. (Bugliosi is best known for having put Charles Manson in prison for the Tate murders.) Hanks and Gary Goetzman will act as executive producers, and Hanks hopes the adaptation will air in 2013. He believes the public has been snookered into believing that Lee Harvey Oswald was framed. "We're going to do the American public a service," Hanks says. "A lot of conspiracy types are going to be upset.

Everyone was putting their heart into it - father-and-son restaurant moguls Jeffrey and Zach Chodorow created a fine potato-bun burger out of pure love of the game, without even a restaurant to promote, and they looked almost stricken when they didn't win. But winning is hard, with everyone bashing their head on the ceiling of burger perfection. (See a video of Americans competing in the Bocuse d'Or food contest...
