...either case, the environmental damage could be devastating. Says Warner Chabot, an official with the Washington-based Center for Marine Conservation: "If the oil enters the Pechora River and flows into the Barents Sea, it will destroy wetlands, salmon runs and breeding grounds for shorebirds." Conditions in the Arctic are so harsh that plants and animals already live on the edge of survival. It can take decades for a tree to grow just a few feet, and tire tracks in tundra vegetation may persist for up to 100 years...
Olive is talentless and threatens to ruin what Shayne considers his very own pure piece of art. The rest of the play's cast, however, is superb, including the fabulous (albeit aging and gargantuanly self-obsessed) Broadway superstar Helen Sinclair (Dianne Wiest), as well as Warner Purcell (Jim Broadbent, of "Enchanted April") and Eden Brent (Tracey Ullman).

...down from $2,000 to $3,000 for older big dishes -- the monthly cost of various channel packages is comparable to cable's. The chief competitor to DSS is Primestar, a four-year-old venture co-owned by General Electric and six cable operators (among them Time Warner). It requires a larger dish (36 in. in diameter) to bring in fewer channels (up to 77), but costs less up front (a $150 installation charge) since customers are allowed to lease rather than buy the dishes. Primestar, which has just completed going digital, is planning to launch a second satellite next...
...Sheinberg wouldn't care to lose their franchise player to unrestricted free agency; they surely hope his new company will decide it's not worth setting up an elaborate distribution apparatus and will instead release its films through Universal. (Spielberg and Katzenberg say they would prefer that; Geffen says Warner Bros. would be a second choice.) But when Matsushita's bosses meet with Wasserman and Sheinberg this week, they may take the long Japanese view and decide they don't want to unload MCA -- least of all to Geffen and Spielberg. "I'm not sure Matsushita is a seller," says...
