Redford has always offered a study in contrasts. He is the California all-American kid who was born (in 1937) into a section of Santa Monica where most of his neighbors spoke Spanish. He had the looks of a matinee idol and the brains of a subversive mogul. Like his Sundance Film Festival--where each January in Park City, Utah, makers of low-budget films mix with cell phone-addicted agents and studio executives--Redford is a fiercely independent entity with an inescapable aura of Hollywood glamour...
...movie houses Redford has been eyeing is the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. He saw his first film there--a Nazi thriller starring John Garfield called The Fallen Sparrow--when he was six. Recalling the Saturday matinees in which half a dozen cartoons and serials played at a stretch, he says, "Movie theaters were not only for entertainment--they were a gathering place for people."

Post-Sept. 11, with the battle for the Arab street to whom Osama is a hero almost as important as the battle to capture Jalalabad, the job seems to call more for a minister of propaganda employing psychological warfare than someone employing a Madison Avenue soft...
