...Special note to Mark E. Zuckerberg ’06-’07: Relax, Zuckerberg! We don’t actually think you’re the asshole that the script makes you out to be. Please don’t hack into our computer systems and/or steal our business venture ideas...
...starred Harvey Keitel as a nameless, coke-addled sadist who has visions of Jesus.

GDP in the first quarter plunged a staggering 15.2% as demand evaporated for cars from Toyota, Honda and Nissan and for high-end electronics from Sony and Panasonic. Japan can no longer expect economic growth to be generated almost exclusively by a handful of powerful multinational manufacturers. Increased domestic consumption as well as investment in small- and medium-sized enterprises are needed to help drive economic growth. This...
