...Women & Men: Stories of Seduction goes heavily Hollywood -- marquee- worthy directors, proven scriptwriters, a cast of (mostly) stars -- in its rather literal rendering of three modern classics. In Mary McCarthy's The Man in the Brooks Brothers Shirt (adapted and directed by Frederic Raphael), a radical journalist (Elizabeth McGovern) meets a crass business executive (Beau Bridges) who makes use of his booze and her boredom to lure her into a one- night stand during a transcontinental railroad trip. (Those were the days!) Owlish and pudgy, Bridges is right for his role, but pillow-soft McGovern is wrong for hers...
Last month senior editor Jack White took charge of our NATION section, and I want to tell you about him. First, he's a journalist who has spent 20 years covering business, the South, Africa, the Third World, the Midwest and presidential politics.

Those consciences, however, are apparently less than clear. The Times said that 12 reporters were involved in the project. But none have come forward, their names have not been revealed, and their colleagues are reluctant to talk to reporters about the situation.

In the wake of last week's revelations, a clearly embarrassed Foreign Ministry said it was suspending its relationship with the Avi Yaffe Studio...
...breathe new life into Style, Downie is bringing in Miami Herald Sunday magazine editor Gene Weingarten, a self-described "shock journalist" who once enlivened a story on the federal budget deficit by illustrating it with photos of naked men and women. Weingarten's hiring, says Downie, is an example of his goal of surrounding himself with visionary editors: "I hire lots of people who are smarter than I am, and I act as a catalyst." Still, the final question that will have to be answered by the Downie regime is whether the Post can flourish without a single controlling vision...
