...company is one of the poster children of technology wonder-companies that have had astronomical growth in a very short time...
...film won't be simply a colorized version of the old one. Costumes and sets have been given a '90s touch. The famed Bates Motel, made more Martha Stewart gothic than Herman Munster Victorian, now accepts the Discover card. In one hardware-store scene a Gulf War poster hangs on a wall not far from a sign advertising knife-sharpening services. Grazer asked that the film be "scarier and sexier." While some nudity and language that Hitchcock ditched due to the censorship restrictions of his day were restored, Van Sant has struggled to resist sheer exploitation. "I never thought this...
...Manhattan, which includes this painting and some 80 others, is a compressed version of a larger affair organized last year by art historian Sarah Whitfield at the Tate Gallery in London, and although it suffers somewhat from the absence of some paintings and omits his drawings and early poster designs altogether, the absence is tolerable.

Leung, a poster child for the kind of diversity and achievement sought by colleges, earned a 4.0 GPA, taking 14 advanced-placement classes, and was accepted at Harvard, Yale and Stanford, with a generous aid package from each. By her calculation, Stanford's package was the best--a mix of loans and outright gifts. Her father earned just under $30,000 last year, and she felt her family couldn't afford to contribute as much as Yale...
