...think she's very pretty," says poor young Pip of the slightly older Estella. "I think she's very proud." Extraordinarily pretty and proudly defiant: that was the indelible first impression the 17-year-old Jean Simmons made on moviegoers in David Lean's Great Expectations in 1946, at the beginning of a long, full career that lasted from her early teens to her death on Jan. 22 at 80, in Santa Monica, Calif., of lung cancer. The actress's screen impact in her early flush of stardom could also be defined by another pair of clashing adjectives that...
Mugabe is not many people's idea of a democrat. But after three decades of allegations that his party members have beat up the opposition, tampered with ballots and ignored previous election results, the 85-year-old autocrat appeared to change tack in December by calling for a new general election. Though he did not set a date, Mugabe said a vote was "not far off." The 11-month-old government of national unity, in which he serves as President and Tsvangirai, head of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), serves as Prime Minister, has "lived more than half...
...this is just as exciting as it sounds, but director Jon Amiel's main intent is to frame Darwin's authorship of one of the most important books of all time around the death of a child, Darwin's 10-year-old daughter Annie (Martha West).

After a bout of scarlet fever, Annie languished for weeks. She was apparently the light of Darwin's life, and the movie does not miss an opportunity...
...Indeed, the profile of the average French board member painted by the Ernst & Young report seems frozen in time: the person is typically a 59-year-old male from one of France's élite graduate schools. He probably serves on more than one board. (French law permits people to hold seats on up to five companies' boards at the same time.) French boardrooms are far less diverse than those in other nations; a survey last month by the independent Politico-Economic Observatory of Capitalistic Structures (PEOCS) indicates that the concentration of business power is greater in France than...
...Brown may have benefited from being underestimated. As a 22-year-old law student, Brown posed nude for a Cosmopolitan magazine "America's Sexiest Man" photo spread that was resurrected and became an Internet sensation during the campaign. But he is also a 30-year veteran of the Massachusetts Army National Guard, and his service figured prominently in his campaign. He won his first election as a local tax assessor in 1992 and was elected to the state senate in 2004. His politics tend to be standard conservative on issues like taxes and guns, but he supports Roe v. Wade...
