...These days, the government's moves seem anything but light-handed. By early June, the banks that were deemed to need capital will have to submit their money-raising plans to regulators.

...would hope to be producing something with a lot of Arab-Americans, or even become the Arab Woody Allen. Finding really good projects that show Arabs and Middle Easterners in a positive, fun light. I think there's a horrible void in that these voices are not on American TV. We're not the first to try to use comedy to raise racial or social issues. Richard Pryor or Chris Rock or even Lenny Bruce - they were challenging people through their comedy, but still they were being funny. We're just following in the footsteps of people who have blazed...
