...political news. Patching together customized networks of pundits, political comics, online news feeds and talk shows, we can choose among universes in which the polls show a dead heat or a blowout, the National Guard memos are truthful or fraudulent, the economy is rebounding or relapsing. You can watch Fox News and see your surrogate reduce my surrogate to a sputtering fool. I can go to my favorite political sites and follow the blogrolls, link after link, discovering how vast is the universe of people who realize that I am entirely right about everything. This virtual self-gerrymandering promotes black...

The 20th Century Fox board of directors is sending unhelpful memos (e.g., the Wookie should wear pants). The Fox boss, Alan Ladd Jr., has insisted that the last two weeks of principal shooting be done in one manic week. And the frail 32-year-old with a galaxy of ideas in his head seems near...
...Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy. On May 25, 1977, Star Wars opened, and it instantly altered the way Hollywood would do business, tell stories, reinvent reality. Yet at first the moguls didn't understand the revolution Lucas kick-started. "George was enormously farsighted," Gareth Wigan, the Fox executive on the Star Wars set, says in the documentary.
