Though most of the Oct. 27 drop in the stock market was recouped the next day, prices have remained volatile. Sinai thinks, however, that the Dow Jones industrial average would have to sink to 7000 (vs. levels over 8200 at its August peak and about 7700 in mid-November) and stay there for a year to make people feel so poor that they would cut consumer spending sharply. Weinberg, meanwhile, sees a silver lining in market volatility. It may dissuade "Gladys and Gary in Indiana" from borrowing from their mutual fund or ira to buy a car or house. That...
...clear from the get-go that Titanic would cost a bundle. Cameron, 43, built a 775-ft. replica of the ship, 10% smaller than the real one, and a 17 million-gal. tank in which to sink it. The film was shot at a 40-acre complex Fox set up in Rosarito, Mexico. And Cameron got the studio to pay for repeated dives to the site of the actual wreck, where he deployed cameras specifically designed for his exploration...

...posters are enough to make your heart sink: another "screwball comedy" with Bill Murray carrying the whole cast? Thankfully, Murray's latest is an altogether humorous and clever film alternately mocking conventions of the Cold War, James Bond espionage thrillers and the theater itself, along with more pratfalls than even Chevy Chase could dream of. Wallace (Bill Murray) drops in on his richer brother (Peter Gallagher) and, thinking he's doing participatory theater, quickly finds he is the "wrong man" in an espionage plot. The name of the game is irony and near-misses, as Murray keeps the audience laughing...
