...jokes seem impromptu, the serious part of the script is more predictable. Bono hopes to convince O'Neill that wealthy countries should dramatically increase foreign assistance to Africa; O'Neill , a frequent critic of aid money that he claims is wasted, wants to make sure that future US commitments are well-spent. At each stop, Bono presses for more aid, particularly from the US. And at each stop, O'Neill demurs. "I think Paul O'Neill is going to be a very different person going out of this trip than he was coming in," Bono told TIME after a visit...
People don't like power when it's not theirs, and they like it even less when they keep falling behind. This is the underlying dynamic that drives Europe's discomfort about the United States: a widening gap between No. 1 and the rest. How is it articulated? The script is practically boilerplate.

He reworked the show’s script to give it the human appeal and positive message that made the show a landmark...
Recipe for a May blockbuster: teen misfit falls in love, disobeys a sympathetic father figure, battles monsters and stumbles toward a complicated manhood. We doubt that the Spider-Man people swapped script notes with George Lucas and his Star Wars: Episode II--Attack of the Clones team; still, the similarities are striking. So, probably, are the eventual box-office numbers. Spidey has quickly scaled the Hollywood heights, but Lucas may be able to ward off this arach attack. Remember, folks: every previous Star Wars movie has been the top-grossing film of its year...
