But it's also an agglomeration of Chase Manhattan, Chemical Bank, Manufacturers Hanover, First Chicago, National Bank of Detroit, Bank One, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, among others, and this mishmash has only come together as a coherent whole since renowned details guy Jamie Dimon took over as CEO in 2005. "The teamwork culture at JPMorgan Chase is really Jamie Dimon," Ellis says...
...Ehren Kruger, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman share the writing credit for this astonishing mishmash of Hasbro advertising copy and every movie in the good-vs.-evil ilk. But Revenge is director Michael Bay at his purest: gleaming machines, humans that glisten with an omnipresent layer of sweat, dozens of locations and a story line so messy it borders on the abstract.

"Its brain sorts with africanus, yet its outside skull features look like Homo erectus," she says...

The play was inspired by the paintings of Norman Rockwell and the work of the avant-garde installation artist Jason Rhoades, and it's a witty, sometimes mystifying, often riveting mishmash of classic Americana and anarchic performance art. It opens with a recording of Bing Crosby singing "Dear Hearts and Gentle People," then slides into a series of Rockwellian scenes: a Thanksgiving dinner; a high school couple on a first date, accompanied by a recorded 1950s lesson in dating etiquette...
