...smartly hyped film of the summer, it is also the grandest: Devlin and Roland Emmerich, the director and co-author, dare to imagine the ultimate catastrophe as it kills off tens of millions of unseen victims and ennobles a dozen major characters, from the Commander in Chief to a stripper...
...network, which Murdoch founded in 1986, didn't even have a news division until 1992. The first man named to run it was Stephen Chao, who had helped develop Cops and America's Most Wanted; he was fired after three months when he hired a male stripper to help illustrate his talk on censorship at a conference organized by Murdoch. A number of top executives--among them ex-CBS News president Van Gordon Sauter and longtime CBS News executive Joseph Peyronnin--came and went after that, and plans changed just as often.
