...follow. Much of the party scene is a murky jumble. To help clarify things, the filmmakers added a last-minute narration by Kevin Kline. From a purist's viewpoint, Kit Culkin, Macaulay's demanding father and manager, was correct when he argued noisily that this intrusion into Balanchine's concept should be excised. When he lost out, he retaliated by withdrawing his son's participation in promoting the film. Kit has a right to his opinion; after all, he played the prince in 1958. But the truth is that the voice-over is helpful to anyone who has not seen...

International operations account for 40% of sales...
...famous cover line in TIME annals consists of three little words that appeared in April 1966: "Is God Dead?" Underscoring the theological skepticism that was analyzed in the article, the cover question was posed dramatically in red type against a severe black background without illustration. We grazed the wording concept in 1989 with "Is Government Dead?" and revisited it for this issue's examination of the longevity of the beliefs of Sigmund Freud, who, as it happens, was a renowned advocate of God's nonexistence...
