...with them. Country-club memberships and other perks that might breed class resentment are frowned upon; everyone flies coach, including the CEO. De Luca roams the halls to chat with lower-level staffers and encourages everyone to e-mail him with ideas. A few years ago, he dyed his hair pink after losing a bet with an employee. That sent the signal, he says, that "the boss may be crazy, but he's somebody I can talk...
...ballpark; and in Beijing I expected industriousness to spill from Yanjing's kegs into the streets. Our cab would follow ant lines of tricycles, one rolling in empty, one clinking out full, past packed restaurants; and there would be Germans, lots of jolly Germans, licking foam from facial hair and shouting for another round. But the empty boulevard carried us in efficient quietness to the gates of Yanjing's Mansion of Science and Technology. The guard saluted the car around the fountain and under a granite colonnade.

...Lacey's hit idea was imported from the U.S., where he felt the pull of pugilism first-hand. He is a wiry 50-year-old with perfectly coiffed hair, but look closely and you'll see a fine white line snaking above each eye - scars from the gym.

If they were slightly politically aware, perhaps they would speculate that I’ve been the victim of post-September 11 domestic anti-terror legislation. But few would realize...
...Kitano started the new Zatoichi by leaving his hair the decidedly unsamurai blond shade he'd recently dyed it. "I think that if I tried to imitate Katsu, then a viewer would have a lot of problems with it," says Kitano. "So I thought I should make everybody think it's a completely different thing." So what else sets Takeshi Kitano's Zatoichi apart from its 26 predecessors? The auteur explains: "Throughout the film there is a feeling of fast action at the contemporary speed of the modern film." Translation: everything from the electron-quick fights to the rapier-thin...
