...record of success is not very good. Out of 24 major attacks on American targets since Iranian fundamentalists seized the Tehran embassy in 1979, only eight ever ended in arrest and trial, and three of those eight assaults took place in the U.S. Only once, when Libya was blamed for the 1986 bombing of a German discotheque, did the U.S. retaliate militarily.

The verdict had nothing to do with Warner's "reneging on a deal to remake Pinocchio." There was never any such "deal." Warner was held liable for intentionally interfering with Mr. Coppola's efforts to make Pinocchio for a different studio (Columbia Pictures). In addition, you ignored the foreign grosses and income for Mr. Coppola's films, which would more than double the figures you quoted...
