Following the grand jury's decision, federal prosecutors said they will look into possibly bringing charges against Banuelos for civil rights violations. Still, the incident has left raw feelings in the community. "These people had no right to be here," says Melvin La Follette, a retired Episcopal priest and head of a Redford citizens group opposing the military's presence. "We were going blithely about our business, not knowing that Congress had handed away the civil rights of the people on the border." Former Marine Corporal Mark Otto, 27, who has served in surveillance missions in the border areas near...
...Apple board he virtually handpicked--naturally to include his buddy, Oracle chief Lawrence Ellison, who considered his own takeover bid of Apple this spring. "We caught Larry Ellison in the San Jose airport last Friday before he left for vacation," says Jobs, chuckling, as he watches raw video footage in the boardroom. "Apple is the only life-style brand in the computer industry," Ellison is saying onscreen. "It's the only company people feel passionate about.

McQueen's team of drill sergeants--those fabled hard-noses delegated to whip raw recruits into shape--went into action. They dutifully set up a "wet-bulb globe-temperature-index calculator" and tested the air. Sure enough, it was too hot to attack...
...early films--Breathless, My Life to Live, A Married Woman, Masculine- Feminine--were acerbic love stories set in Left Bank cafes, sketches of men and women rubbing each other raw, arguing, smoking, drinking, anecdoting their lives away. The scenarios, rambling and aphoristic, could have been scrawled on napkins; their emotions were spiked with absinthe. Films poured out of Godard, two or three a year, and each was an incendiary device--an event for his admirers, an affront to the cinematic status quo. Andrew Sarris called him "the analytical conscience of the modern cinema." Because of Godard, it seemed, movies would...
