...Sunshine has a more daunting historical obstacle to hurdle: its directors, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, were not nominated in their Oscar category. That citation would have been sweet, whatever you think of the movie, since the Academy has nominated a directorial pair only twice before (for West Side Story and the 1978 Heaven Can Wait), and because you could count the number of women nominated for Best Directors on the fingers of a maimed hand. (Three: Lina Wertmuller for Seven Beauties, Jane Campion for The Piano and Sofia Coppola, the only American woman, for Lost in Translation...

One stockholder, Abraham Duman of Highland Park, Tll., filed a suit against GM, claiming that its directors had violated their fiduciary responsibility by paying such an enormous sum to Perot...
...small golden jackal, nipping at the rump of a hyena twice its size, chases the intruder from its territory. Two young lions tear into a still struggling buffalo calf. Such violent scenes are everyday rhythms Among Predators and Prey (Sierra Club Books; 224 pages; $35), the reflections of Wildlife Photographer Hugo van Lawick. The author has a long acquaintance with rough nature: he has lived with East Africa's wild animals for a quarter-century part of the time among chimpanzees with his former wife Jane Goodall. Van Lawick's knowledgeable narrative recalls a life that included a stint covering...
