...American Songbook was the first pop-music album I've bought in years. Stewart may be a master of "tawdry sincerity," but after rock 'n' roll, heavy metal and rap, it is a great pleasure to hear (and sing along with) the old standards. So Stewart isn't Frank Sinatra.

Fifty years after its release, From Here to Eternity, based on the revolutionary war novel by James Jones, still has something to offer modern audiences.

I just do the work. I'll make movies...
...Nolan Ryan's All-Star Fruit Snacks, Gloria Vanderbilt's salad dressing, Reggie Jackson's candy bar, Carl Yastrzemski's Big Yaz Bread, Diane von Furstenberg's facial tissue, Bill Blass's chocolates, Richard Simmons's Salad Spray, Tommy Lasorda's spaghetti sauce, Yves St. Laurent's cigarettes, Frank Sinatra's neckties--all examples of products these famous people promoted with unsatisfactory results. There's never been a real celebrity success in the food business. We estimate the total start-up loss for celebrity products somewhere close to $900 million. No offense, Mr. Newman," Karen said, "but just because they...
