...screen, and a ghostly white fish swims in and out of the frame. As Hsaio-kang watches Truffaut, the TV set is, again, placed at bottom right. Chen and Cecilia Yip's heads line up diagonally on a pillow before they kiss. Even the chairs in Paris' Luxembourg Gardens have armrests that rise at 45 degrees from the slumping seats. Throughout, Tsai makes the eye follow as if looking at a painting, seldom giving the viewer the luxury of a single focal point...

Welch says GE's lawyers are considering an appeal to the European Union's Court of First Instance in Luxembourg. That won't save the Honeywell deal--such a case might not be settled for two years. But it would give GE a chance to disprove the allegation that it had a "dominant position" that it was likely to abuse. If that stain remains on the record, GE is going to find it hard to make any significant acquisitions in Europe. Honeywell has a new CEO; when the deal went down, so did Bonsignore. His successor: Larry Bossidy, a longtime...
