...Captivity has earned only $8.5 million in box-office revenue, Silent Partner went straight to DVD, and You and I has yet to find a distributor, though RAMCO hopes to release the film worldwide by next fall. As Konov and Minkovski wrap up for the day, several executives from Warner Bros. (which is owned by TIME's parent company, Time Warner) arrive at the RAMCO offices for an exploratory meeting. Nearly all of the major Hollywood studios have been sniffing around Moscow recently, trying to figure out how and when to get involved in an industry with a potentially massive...
...line of politicians who have had a change of heart about the war in Iraq keeps getting longer. Republican Senator John Warner, who voted in October 2002 to authorize the use of force there, now wants the troops to start coming home.

...officials report, will give the Army some badly needed margin to rest and retrain its brigades, but only a little. Some officers at the Pentagon want deeper cuts - and want them sooner - believing that the surge will keep the Army stretched too thin for too long. Virginia Senator John Warner, who is as close to the admirals and generals as anyone on Capitol Hill, cast his lot with this faction when he called recently for a reduction of 5,000 troops this year. Such a move would be more symbolic than real, changing little on the ground. And it would...
