...soirée set. Baloun invented a life-size Hungarian town square for financier George Soros' 70th birthday. For a New York City welcome for Prince Charles, Baloun conjured up a forest of trees in a towering tent at Lincoln Center, complete with painted stars on the ceiling. The price tag for such rarefied celebration could reach $10 million. Baloun, 61, died from pancreatic cancer...
There's good reason to spend so much time and money--Dawn carries a $446 million price tag--getting to Ceres and Vesta. The composition and reflectivity of the bodies suggest they were formed within the first 3 million years of the solar system's life, whereas Earth was something of a late arrival, coming along about 27 million years later. A close look at Ceres and Vesta, then, is a close look at a local cosmos that our planet wasn't even around to see. "These two objects are our best opportunity for going back into time," says Christopher...
...Undergraduate Council even passed a resolution in March 2006 calling for regulation of coursepack costs. The resolution noted that expensive coursepacks can be a deterrent for students who may be interested in a course but can't afford the price tag that accompanies enrollment, and it urged the College to take measures that address the issue...
...This time, Congress-man Evan (Carell) is told to build an ark in preparation for a coming flood. A premise for surefire laughs, unless you happen to live in New Orleans. But God didn't foot the bill for the movie's cost overruns; Universal did. The final price tag was something like $175 million, the highest ever for a comedy, and that doesn't include the $40 million or so for marketing the picture. If Evan Almighty, which opens on June 22, triumphs at the box office, it will prove the second law of movie economics: that a comedy...
...action film is short indeed: Will Smith and Tom Cruise. But Smith wants to graze freely among genres and rarely makes action pictures. Cruise has made more than a dozen films that grossed at least $100 million in North America, and usually much more worldwide, but his high price tag and off-putting offscreen antics led Paramount, his home studio, to sever relations last year. In addition to the dearth of action stars, there's the zeitgeist to contend with: in internationally edgy times, intimate comedy gives an audience more comfort than blow-up-the-world melodrama...
