...they hummed along, the two seemed little bothered by the departure of the original songwriting duo of Arnold Weinstein and William Bolcom, whom they quickly replaced with Academy Award-winning composer Alan Mencken (Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast) and Tony Award-winning lyricist (and Harvard Law School grad) David Zippel (City of Angels...
Your piece on Miramax and its co-chairmen, Harvey and Bob Weinstein [SHOW BUSINESS, April 8], asked, "Has Harvey Lost His Way?" Many relevant facts suggest otherwise. Wouldn't you consider Harvey to be "back on track" after acquiring the Sundance hit and Best Picture Oscar nominee In the Bedroom for $1.5 million and seeing it gross more than $35 million domestically?

Last year, say the brothers, Miramax pulled in nearly $1 billion, with $161 million in profit, at the global box office. But in an industry where you are what you drive, perception...
...that book came in response to the hundreds of doctoral students I’ve talked with and what they’ve told me. All of them are very good at distracting themselves. The hardest part often is just to sit down. When Larry Weinstein and I were at the Writing Center, we used to joke that the single most important implement for a writer was a pot of glue: you paint it on the chair and then you sit down...
