The film won eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Director and Actor (Brando) and Schulberg himself would win one for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay. He was the second-generation moviemaker and self-described "Hollywood Prince" whose most memorable work anatomized corruption in the more rapacious forms of entertainment: boxing (The Harder They Fall and it should be noted that Schulberg was former chief boxing correspondent for Sports Illustrated), TV and radio (A Face in the Crowd) and the movie business itself (his 1941 novel What Makes Sammy...

Now the question of the moment is, Will the former President's visit reverse that deteriorating dynamic? Clinton met with Kim for 3½ hours on Tuesday evening. Even if the former President didn't - as the White House insisted - bring a specific message to Kim from Obama, it's safe to assume...
