Gordy looked west, towards Los Angeles (how could such a large entertainment company as his not be involved in movies and television?). Dissatisfied with the increasing disconnect between the success of their work and the level of their pay, Holland-Dozier-Holland broke off from Motown. And while the Jackson 5 was on the rise, most of the rock-steady Motown acts of the early '60s were on the wane. In 1971, though, the label released what is arguably its grandest artistic statement, something...
...winning films - WALL-E and The Dark Knight - have made more than a fender-bending dent at the box office. Mind you, several of these pictures are just starting to get a wide domestic release. Rourke's film and both of Winslet's have a shot at moderate financial success, and Slumdog could be that rare film from the indies (or, this time, from India) that crosses over to mainstream-hit status.

...fulfilling work - work that we will probably continue to do until we are no longer capable - but it is, unlike that of my parents, all-consuming work. There is always an email to answer, a paper or memo to read, and a lecture to give or receive. Success in today's professional world doesn't mean retiring at fifty to play golf in Florida, it means working more and more hours as you move up a towering ladder of economic opportunity (and inequality). Socializing usually revolves around professional colleagues...
