...cheerleader at Ole Miss, Leigh Anne met her future husband, Sean Tuohy, a basketball star (and now a commentator for the Memphis Grizzlies) who inherited his father's chain of fast-food restaurants. The movie's Sean, nicely played by Tim McGraw, is a smart, amiable fellow who knows to keep out of the way of the family's driving force.

...Moreover, it's highly likely that McGraw-Hill, unlike Forbes or Time Inc., does not see running a consumer magazine as a core business. What McGraw-Hill does best is provide specialized information: trade magazines, financial-services data, textbooks. The news business is not in its DNA, just as business journalism wasn't in Conde Nast's. Business Week was a stepchild tolerated only as it more or less paid its own way and offered prestige.
