...Matt Groening has said, "Animated characters don't get busted, and they don't get old." As for the animators, salaries are a little higher than when Jones joined Warner in 1933 for $18.50 a six-day week. But until DreamWorks entered the picture, creators of even the most boffo animated films got no royalties. George Lucas made zillions from the Star Wars rerelease; the three directors of the 1961 One Hundred and One Dalmatians got none of the hundreds of millions it made in reissues and on video...
...Boffo television. But there may be less controversy here than meets the CBS Eye. The murder case was 10 years old. The protocols, though never implemented by the Cleveland Clinic, are used elsewhere and are supported by Dr. Hans Sollinger, president of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons. A 1996 study of 500 hospitals found that about a third of the institutions that responded used cardiac-dead donors, some presumably injected with organ-preserving drugs. Cardiac dead used to be the most dead you could be. It wasn't until the late 1960s that new laws added the standard...

She makes a fleeting appearance in one ad. The press is usually not allowed on her plane. What's more, she's rarely at her husband's side. And when she is, she almost never makes any remarks. The campaign says that Elizabeth will...
...fund spread the money widely, typically carrying about 1,400 stocks in such traditional industries as retailing and banking. But now Magellan is steered by Jeffrey Vinik, 36, who is managing a fund that is five times the size of the one Lynch left behind. And Vinik is doing boffo, posting a return of better than 38% so far this year. But Vinik is raising eyebrows, not only because he tends to concentrate so much money on less than 500 stocks. Vinik is in love with technology. Earlier this year, as much as 40% of Magellan was in tech stocks...
