...years ago, a founder of this magazine, Henry Luce, published an essay in LIFE celebrating a national history that had "teemed with manifold projects and magnificent purposes ... It is in this spirit that all of us are called, each to his own measure of capacity, and each in the widest horizon of his vision, to create the first great American Century." And so we did. The question now is how far we can extend our heyday of manifold projects and magnificent purposes. Golden ages and empires do come...
...displays pitch-black blacks, consumes less power than a similarly sized TV and has the widest color gamut of any display ever made," he said. The reds, he noted, were a case in point. Put the LaserVue alongside Dorfman's lcd, and his reds would look orange. Indeed, the LaserVue comes closer than any TV before it to reproducing the colors one sees in a film in a movie theater. Mitsubishi, which has a lock on the technology so far, is working on a 73-in. (185 cm) LaserVue. Merson said prices (and screen sizes) would doubtless diminish over time...
...bringing McCain in to help, the House GOP leaders may have done more damage to their members' electoral chances. When McCain gets a cold - Obama now holds his widest leads yet in many polls - his coattails get pneumonia. After trailing Democrats in generic matchups for most of the year, early last month Republicans started to catch up, coming within 3 percentage points of the Democrats in a CNN/Opinion Research poll.

McCain tied Obama in the Gallup and Rasmussen Daily tracking polls early last week, but Obama has since opened up his widest leads of the race in both surveys, ahead by 8 and 6 percentage points, respectively. But even if most House Republicans wind up supporting the bill, the legislation is beginning to feel like the White Elephant every one is looking to give away...
...Over Labor Day weekend The Dark Knight will probably surpass $500 million at the U.S. box office. It has already swept into the record books, with the biggest opening weekend of all time ($158.4 million) and widest opening release of all time (4,366 theaters), and is also the second-highest grossing film ever, behind Titanic's $600.8 million. Director Christopher Nolan's bleak reinvention of the classic comic book character was savvily marketed and aggressively distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures (TIME and Warner Bros. are both subsidiaries of Time Warner) and warmly welcomed by critics, sparking a box office...
