...need to shed light on an area that has been shrouded in secrecy for so long,” he said. “This is a bipartisan issue—actually, a nonpartisan issue.” Connolly said the legislation, which has the backing of cigarette maker Philip Morris, is expected to face opposition in Washington from some members of Congress and tobacco lobbyists. Some Republicans argued yesterday that the FDA was not the proper agency to regulate the tobacco industry, according to news reports.But with control of Congress having shifted to the Democrats, supporters of the bill...
...artist, an infatuation with movies can be a tricky thing. He made a wrong turn with the Dream House series he worked on from 1998 to 2002, where for the first time he recruited famous faces to play his people. No doubt getting Gwyneth Paltrow and Philip Seymour Hoffman to appear in your photographs brings you enhanced market cred.

Kennedy ’54-’56 (D-Mass.) and Representative Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) calling upon the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate the cigarette and smokeless...
...films worth seeing. Not that there aren’t other reasons to see “Notes on a Scandal.” Cate Blanchett and Bill Nighy (whom viewers might remember from “The Constant Gardener”) perform ably in lesser parts, and Philip Glass’ score puts you on edge like musical version of nails against a chalkboard. But without Dench, none of it would stick. Dench plays Barbara Covett, who fills notebook after notebook with the unfiltered impressions of her keen and bitter psyche, and with all the charm of a steel...
