...include an extraordinary ability to take complex issues and present them simply, and the capacity in cross-examination to go in whichever direction the witness requires. Jeff Blattner, a Deputy Assistant Attorney General who worked with him on the Microsoft case, calls Boies' ability to improvise in the courtroom "pure jazz." During that trial, when a frustrated Microsoft witness complained that Boies was ambushing him with trick questions, Boies actually promised to raise his hand before he asked another one.

...very public fight against another Russian titan. This time his target was Anatoli Chubais, chief of Russia's electricity giant, Unified Energy Systems. Chubais had proposed to restructure UES by selling off regional subsidiaries at their value at the time. The plan, Browder claims, amounted to "asset stripping, pure and simple."

...nuances shows that Caroline is not lacking emotions, even though she represses them. Chocolat explores small-town life in 1950's France, and the effect that the mysterious stranger Vianne Rocher's opening of a humorously decadent chocolate shop has on the various townspeople. Some scenes in Chocolat are pure slapstick, such as, for example, when Vianne offers the conservative Comte de Reynaud (Alfred Molina), guardian of the village's morality, some chocolates called "Venus' Nipples." Some good moments of the movie are the humorous ones, such as the village priest Pere Henri (Hugh O'Conor) singing and dancing...
