Bars of gold

Article Abstract:

Privately operated prisons in the US have failed to provide more effective service than public prisons. Two firms, Corrections Corporation of America and Wackenhut Corrections, run two-thirds of all private prisons in the US. The prisons have been criticized for mismanagement. The managing corporations deal with complaints through their public relations firms.

For a few dollars more

Article Abstract:

The Motion Picture Association of America reports the average cost of making a movie in Hollywood doubled in the 1990s to about $75 mil. Increasing costs mean a movie must do well in its first weekend of release or it is considered a failure. Studios are cutting costs and overhead, but actors' salaries are increasing.
