...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?

Yet it is within his purview to raise margin requirements above the current 50%. However, that might tick off Wall Street, which earns more than 8% interest on margin loans.
