Last Tuesday was a bittersweet night for Hollywood. At the world premiere of the feverishly awaited Warner Bros. movie Eyes Wide Shut, the last work by the late director Stanley Kubrick, stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman effervesced with the town's glitterati. But Warner Bros. co-CEOs Robert Daly, 62, and Terry Semel, 56, struck some as oddly distracted. Moments before the screening, producer Paula Weinstein found Semel alone in an empty lobby, where the two reminisced about a previous Kubrick premiere. "The moment I saw him, all these memories flooded back," Weinstein says. "I was filled with...
...MALACHY, right, got in on the action and wrote his own book, A Monk Swimming, also a best seller. Now Alphie, a third brother who stayed with his mother in Ireland when his elder brothers left for America, has an agent and is shopping his version of events around town, eager to report what few details of the family's hardscrabble upbringing remain undocumented.

I caught a ride with two eccentric young woman who drove a green, vintage Austin Freeway, a handsome retrocar that struggled on SH23's steep bits...
Last night, for example, I and a bunch of other journalists stayed late into the evening at the press center in the town of Pau carefully crafting our stories about the allegations of drug use against Armstrong--unfounded, it seems. I had to be in Bordeaux--a city three hours away--by morning, so I filed my story about 10, packed quickly and took a taxi to Bordeaux. By 2 a.m. the taxi driver and I were engaged in a fascinating discussion about drugs and the effect they have had on cycling...
