Movie review Others may regard them in a less complicated way, but I wonder whether Angelina Jolie ever has mixed feelings about her lips. They hog the limelight just by being there, daring moviegoers more into tomb-raiding than "A Mighty Heart" not to take her acting talent seriously. In various, slightly parted poses of defiance or nine kinds of sultriness, the Jolie kisser has been deployed by studio marketing departments every which way. And with Jolie done up like a melancholy Edward Hopper figure, her eyes downcast, her lips are the visual focal point of the ad campaign for the new Clint Eastwood film, " Changeling," which is a little odd, considering the wrenching subject matter.

Jeffrey Frank, a senior editor at the New Yorker whose stable of writers includes the likes of Ryan Lizza, Nick Lemann and the magazine's own editor David Remnick (he edited this week's 12,000 word piece on race and Obama), is leaving the magazine at the end of the year to pursue a book. "It was agonizing to make a decision like this," he told Media Mob in a phone interview. "I'm writing a non-fiction project and you can’t be a full-time editor and write a book at the same time. I gotta travel, research, and do interviews." Mr. Frank wouldn't tell us what the project would be, but he said it would involve lots of traveling. Mr. Frank, whose novels include Bad Publicity and The Columnist, has been at the New Yorker for 13 years.

A government-supported restructuring of the auto industry is urgently needed for our economic and energy security. If the Bush administration allows the auto industry to collapse, it will compound the panic that started with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. Washington should seize the opportunity to begin a new era of U.S. technological leadership in the global auto industry, starting with an immediate loan.

The new biography does justice to one of the English language's towering intellects. If you survey the geography of modern letters, three books stand out as signposts marking the beginning of paths that lead decisively away from all that went before. Augustine's "Confessions," the first memoir of an inner life, is one such work. So is Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quixote," which is the first inarguably modern novel. The third is James Boswell's "The Life of Samuel Johnson," the earliest recognizable modern biography.
