21、inutes to convince Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her elocution lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was

27、ned Asimov's most popular novel series, "Foundation,' for Shekhar Kaput ("Elizabeth") to direct; Paramount is working on turning "End of Eternity" into a film that Ridley Scott ("Gladiator") will likely direct from a script by "Total Recall" co -w

28、riter Gary Goldman; and Sony Pictures Family Entertainment is developing into an animated film series "Norby, the Mixed Up Robot," a series of 10 children's novels that Asimov wrote with his wife Janet, who'll act as creative consultant.Most of the deals will be worth seven -figure

29、 paydays if the films get made.Asimov wrote more than 460 works in either book or short-story form. While he wrote some nonfiction and mysteries, his speciality was sci -fi, with futuristic stories that were alien -free and high on pro -humanistic themes.His work has influenced many prominent sci -f

30、i filmmakers, but Asimov action had been sparse. The most recent adaptation was the Robin Williams picture "Bicentennial Man." Part of the reason was that Asimov' s sole passion was his books and his family. He was hardly pushy( 进取心 的 ) about getting his works adapted, known to grant f

31、ilm options for as little as $50.The catalyst for the surge in screen activity is that Asimov's estate is now represented by Crested By, a partnership created 1 - 1/2 years ago by Vince Gerardis and Ralph Vicinanza, who currently handle the screen rights of about 200 major sci -fi, fantasy and h

The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.The driver ignored her, so she repeated the ques

36、tion. Incredibly, he then closed the door - on her arm - and drove off.The woman, her arm stuck in the door, trotted alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too, were shouting.When the driver finally did stop and opened the door, the wo

37、man jumped on the bus to get his badge number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.After the driver's bosses at the Chicago Transit Authority -a tax-supported governmental body -heard of the inciden

38、t, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five -day suspension without pay. That struck me as rather light.But Bill Baxa, a CTA publicrelations man, said, "That's a pretty harsh penalty."Five days off work is a harsh penalty for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa
