...movies have been telling these career-girl romances since Joan Crawford was a pup, and the notion that hard-driving bosses may have hearts of nougat underneath their crunchy dark chocolate coats is not exactly a novel one either. You can't blame Hathaway, who is a winsome actress, for this resort to cliché. When she has to out-maneuver Miranda's other assistant (Emily Blunt) for the most favored spot in the executive suite, she shows plenty of moxie. You're not exactly certain she knows exactly what she's doing, but you also see that...

...called Gold Rush, and that's pretty much what's going on here. NBC Universal Television Group CEO Jeff Zucker says digital ad opportunities were "all advertisers wanted to talk about" before this spring's "upfronts," where the networks announce their fall schedules to Madison Avenue.

...Neither the man nor the system, however, are fully to blame. Chen has been ineffective, but he has also been hamstrung by some factors beyond his control. He has repeatedly invited the Chinese to talk with him, and he has refrained from declaring independence, changing the island's name or flag, or holding a public referendum on Taiwan's status?all of which would provoke Beijing. Yet China's leaders have cold-shouldered him because they view him in only one dimension?as a "splittist"?without seemingly taking into account the need for Chen, an elected official, to cater...

...very notion of the U.S. invading Venezuela strikes many observers in both countries as far beyond the realm of possibility, and critics say it is more of a tool for Chavez to rally support behind his government than anything else. But in a country where many still blame the U.S. for tacitly supporting a failed coup against Chavez in 2002, the powers that be certainly don't act as if an attack is a joke...
