...such juggernauts as Basic Instinct and a brace of Rambos. Now it's scrounging around for old props. After the huge, expensive stinkball Cutthroat Island was wrapped, some items weremissing. Oddly enough, a cannon, some maps, a peg leg and one of GEENA DAVIS' outfits turned up in Planet Hollywood Helsinki, co-owned by the movie's director and Davis' spouse RENNY HARLIN (the one with longer hair than MATTHEW MODINE's).

In labs and on a weekend trip, students learn about rock types and the ways geologists work in the field...

Earlier this month, Unwired Planet closed a deal with Qualcomm, which should be rolling out digital cellular phones that can receive news, weather and stock info with UP's software by late this year. "We know we've won when this technology becomes an expected feature, not a curiosity," says UP vice president Ben Linder. At the rate UP is going, managing a portfolio and checking...
