...palace, "while a noble monument, is totally un suitable" and that The Hague has never become the world law capital that idealists once envisioned. Embarrassed, the Dutch government has renewed an offer of a new site plus $12 million to ward construction of a new building. Meantime, the Swiss government is offering a scenic site in Lausanne...

Keeping him on his feet (which are rather improbably shod in red and white Swiss-made track shoes) will be a new project about a couple of young college film makers who get an idea to make "the ultimate film about dying; really dying." The title is A Really Great Movie-and it might be just that...
