...when the creator of the most successful series in movie history says he'd like to show the final episode in Cannes, the festival gives him the key to its heart. The bustling pace and dazzle of Revenge of the Sith might make it an anomaly amid the no-tech, paint-drying minimalism of the international art-film brigade. In other respects, Lucas' film was right in step with the tendencies of the most prominent movies here. If we see the Star Wars sextet as a single epic, then surely it is the saga of Darth Vader's rivalry with...
...downs of particular stocks or indices. Even something as sober as how stock markets are organized is as susceptible to fads as a teenage consumer. Just a few years ago, several big West European countries felt the need to reproduce their own versions of the U.S.'s tech-heavy NASDAQ exchange. After a few lackluster years, some, like Germany's Neuer Markt, fell out of favor and the survivors are lightly traded.

Satellite radio never fades, which is why I subscribed to the service in the first place and why I'll maintain my subscription despite the fact that it often makes me feel as though America were a high-tech hologram and I were a futuristic ghost. This feeling struck me acutely during a yawn-inducing 10-hour drive from Montana to Colorado via Wyoming. Except in feeble, quivering bursts, normal radio signals can't conquer that barrenness, but thanks to some wonderful gizmo in outer space, I was able to stay in touch with the most minute developments...
