There were some wonderful lines in the movie, and one of them reminded me of a sobering comment that Andy Grove of Intel made to our convention in April. So now contrast that with the breathtaking line by Julia Roberts in Notting Hill. She was standing there, arguing with Hugh Grant about how she would be treated in tomorrow morning s newspapers. Grant s character was reminding her that the photos taken of the two of them would disappear in another day, when newspapers were tossed on the recycling stack. Oh, no, she said.
Newspapers are forever.
Newspapers last forever. Newspapers will be gone in three years. Newspapers last forever. Ah, if only movies could make things come true. Neither, I suspect, and I suppose you are likely to agree with me.
