With Romeo, producer Joel Silver has bet that Li, like Jackie Chan in Rush Hour, can click with urban moviegoers if he is paired with black actors and backed by an assaultive hip-hop score. As Han, scion of a Chinese family at war with a black clan in San Francisco, Li must juggle ethnic rivalries and ethical responsibilities--in other words, kick everybody's ass, without regard to race or kinship. Han's only ally is the black kingmaker's daughter Trish O'Day (R.-and-B. thrush Aaliyah), in a romance so tepid it is consummated with...
...growing problem is simple physics: much more matter in the same amount of space.

But if you've made a bundle in NASDAQ stocks and are concerned about their increasing volatility, consider protecting what you've made. Here's how, starting with some basics and moving up the ladder...
...radio made Schulz and Wirkus minor celebrities because traditional talk radio, dominated by endless rebroadcasts of old standbys Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh, had no room for new players. "To get on the radio today you have to wait for somebody to die," says Bob Meyrowitz, founder of eYada. To deejay a Net radio show, though, you just need a computer and a perky connection to the Web. A company called Live365.com made Net broadcasting free and much easier than it used to be. Live365 has more than 5,000 broadcasters, with shows like Upbeat '80s and ALL Shania...
