In a bridal shower scene, the bride-to-be is relieved to be given a return receipt along with a horrible gift. The video ends with these words: "Paper can make any gift, the perfect gift."

As Goldman Thrives, Some Say an Ethos Has Faded
By JENNY ANDERSON
Some current and former executives of Goldman Sachs are convinced that, under the leadership of Lloyd C. Blankfein, it now puts quick profits above all else.

The British retailer didn't confirm a start date or tariffs for the iPhone but said in a brief press release that both the original iPhone 3G and the new iPhone 3GS would be available shortly.

The retrospective of these adventures embodies “that messianic, carefree ethos that arose when New York was a crumbling capital with mean streets, cheap rents and bad air and when art wasn’t worth much either, so nothing was impossible,” Michael Kimmelman says. “It’s heavenly.” There’s a rare screening of his films today, and an even rarer discussion with his widow, Jane Crawford.shower[show・er1]
