...actress Natalie Portman exhibited a similar, if more demure, force of personality while insisting to Chua-Eoan, in a voice that could sweep Darth Vader off his feet, that an edited version of her piece on Anne Frank misconstrued her thesis. He quickly agreed to delete an offending passage...
Every epochal moment in Pirates of Silicon Valley (June 20, 8 p.m. E.T.), TNT's smart new movie about the birth of the PC industry, comes complete with a similar backdoor irony. Pirates' writer-director Martyn Burke (who co-wrote HBO's caustic The Pentagon Wars) plants his story in the fertile ground of the baby boomers' art-vs.-commerce conundrum.

...such developments are nothing compared with what's taking shape in the mutual-fund industry. Coming your way: intraday fund pricing and active trading of stock funds similar to what goes on daily with individual stocks.

But in 1988 Krens moved to the Guggenheim, and the economic boom known as the "Massachusetts Miracle" evaporated, taking the funding with it. Joseph Thompson, Krens' successor, was left holding the baby. He has proved a shrewd parent. Thompson and a local architectural...
Much of Martin's international success is due to his ability to depart from typical Latin-rock or salsa music and to blend popular rock sounds with Latin jazz. His music incorporates lyrics in both Spanish and English. This exotic new hybrid of music captures festive rhythms and tempos similar to Brazilian samba in familiar beats that can be danced to. Martin also demonstrates an uncanny versatility when he sings slower-tempo Latin ballads in the "danceable" rumba and bolero rhythms. GUILLERMO SAMUEL YOUNG San Jose, Calif...
