...Which makes Diesel - a great stage name (his real one is Mark Vincent) for an actor who seems motor-driven - ideal as the headliner of special-effects action films like this weekend's Fast & Furious, the fourth in a series that launched in 2001 and has now been stripped of its definite articles because, in Hollywood, thes are for wimps.

...selection of Matt Lauer is extremely timely. The fast world of news and journalism is evolving before us every day. Leaders of the industry have been swallowed up by novel technologies, going by the name “new media.” Sadly, print journalism faces an uncertain future (you’re probably reading this on a screen, aren’t you!). With Lauer on his way ,we must tip our caps to new media—you win this one “TV.” We are not losing hope for more traditional news...
