...maybe a week." Or is it? There's already talk of possible Oscar nominations for Russell Crowe, Pacino or Plummer. That would keep the film alive well into next year. And then there's the video release. All that could mean a long stretch ahead for 60 Minutes. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick...
...Sixth Sense by making a complete ass of himself. (Perhaps this is a sign that he should go back to doing Die Hard-type fare.) The rampant television commercials advertising Dwayne's cars?

(Brokers are free to raise requirements on their own, and some have.) No Fed chairman since 1974 has moved to lift the limit. Individual investors--and not just day traders--also share part of the blame. Intoxicated...
