Graham, 57, is the son of the late publishing legend Katharine Graham. Sulzberger, 51, is scion of the family that has run the Times since 1896.

The Ring is the American spin-off, stylishly directed by Gore Verbinski and well acted by an appealing cast, led by Mulholland Drive's Naomi Watts. She's a reporter looking for a logical explanation for her niece's death and her son's increasingly haunted state. She almost finds one, and that proves to be a problem. What she discovers is a conventional mother-child psychodrama that...
