...Sweeney Todd”—you probably picture a stout, frowning guy, puffing on a cigar, sitting in an overstuffed office chair while overlooking the hills of Hollywood. However, the time has come for us all to do some re-imagining. Replace the fat guy with a trim, L.A.-chic woman named Stacey Snider. Snider, the highly fashionable Co-Chairman and CEO of DreamWorks Studios and former CEO of Universal Pictures, recently spoke at Harvard’s Women in Business Intercollegiate Business Convention, addressing over 700 ambitious young women eager to be the next leading lady...

Trees near transmission lines are supposed to be pruned regularly - but this one hadn't been. When the line sagged too close to the tree, it faulted and tripped off-line. This is also something that happens pretty frequently on the U.S.'s massive electrical grid...
...season, says the Village facilitates team bonding, but he won't knock the U.S. for its élitism. "You get used to doing things a certain way," he says. "It's all right." With basketball's popularity booming in China, Kirilenko is an icon in the Village. After his trim, dozens of Olympic volunteers rush up to him, begging for autographs and pictures. Amazingly, two Chinese beach-volleyball players almost faint in his presence. The Russian graciously fulfills every wish, though with dwindling enthusiasm. "There are only 10,000 volunteers," he says with a sarcastic smile, "so there are only...
