...every movie he produces, Apatow makes the director shoot and keep shooting, yelling suggestions at the actors until they're so worn down that they can't think of anything to say other than something personal - or funny.

...like Ghana, young people make up over half of the population," Obama said on his African stop. "The world will be what you make of it." The same refrain was repeated in Cairo and is a feature of his rhetoric elsewhere. As politics, addressing the youth is a well-worn trope. But for Obama it points to a bigger hope: that the change he speaks about will ultimately be generational, and therefore more lasting...
