Film At 11 The Tyco/Kozlowski jury yesterday got to see edited video of the birthday party held for Mrs. Kozlowski on Sardinia.  It's available in two parts from the WSJ online Part 1 and Part 2 .  (May or may not be accessible without a WSJ Online subscription - I'm sure it's available elsewhere online).  Shortly after the jury saw the film, prosecutors releaseed it to the media. It's no crime, of course, to throw a party.  And it's not hard to make attendees at any party look foolish by following them around with a camera.  If Kozlowski hadn't countermanded the assets of a publicly held corporation, and  instead tapped his own bank account of after-tax earnings, it would be no big deal.  In an interesting aside, the film of the party may have a salubrious economic effect: Some party planners say the video may be a boost to the recession-shocked industry, which has been in a funk since 9/11. John Baragona, publisher of Event Solutions, a trade magazine for event planners, praised the "creative use" of props to depict the Roman Imperial theme.   "That's a real skill," Mr. Baragona said. "Those are the kinds of things the event industry is proud of." 8:14:22 AM    Speak to me! []  TrackBack  []

Let's Go Knittin', Girls, The Boys Is Fightin' Just when the nation was beginning to waver under the strain of riveting its attention on the California wildfires for agonizing 5-second spots in their evening newscasts, Los Angeles Laker teammates Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal provided refreshing relief with a media tiff to start the new NBA season. The root causes of the wildfires will eventually be dealt with by more clearcut logging (and probably oil and gas exploration) and their effects ameliorated by GW's desire to show the new Schwarzenegger administration how much it cares.  You have to wonder what, however, can save a Laker situation in which Gary Payton is the calm bulwark against divisiveness. 7:33:54 AM    Speak to me! []  TrackBack  []
