...that's O.K., because unlike so many now extinct dotcoms, Expedia is solidly profitable, netting $20 million last quarter as it doubled gross bookings from a year ago, to $1.47 billion--overshadowing the $915 million collected by chief rival, Travelocity. And as Expedia begins this month to offer its smorgasbord of services to the $180 billion U.S. business-travel market, Barton remains every travel agent's worst nightmare...
...Love it or hate it (U.S. audiences will not get the chance to do either since no distributor has picked it up), 11'09"01 is the perfect microcosm of a smorgasbord festival like Toronto's: impassioned visions colliding with one another, shouting or mewling for the attention of the browsing movie lover. And unlike other fests, this one has a longtime fondness for Asian films.

ABC says it is hoping the series will help examine gender roles. Asked if a woman dating multiple men will be as palatable to the public as a man in the same position, network president Susan Lyne replied that the series "will force all of us to look...
...World Cup is a smorgasbord for fans, but it can be just as much a feast for agents and football-club owners, who treat the tournament as a giant showroom for potential talent?even in this era of nascent financial parsimony. While some players disappear into oblivion in the face of international pressure, others rise to the challenge. Here, with the help of football agent Athole Still, who represents England manager Sven-GOran Eriksson, TIME analyzes some of those players who excelled and looks at how they increased their market value...
