Roger Ebert admires a sidewalk medallion bearing his name that was unveiled under the marquee of the Chicago Theatre on Monday, July 18, 2005, during Chicago's tribute to the hometown film critic. Ebert, 63, became the film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times in 1966 and a decade later became the first film critic to receive a Pulitzer Prize for arts criticism.

Continue Love Affair With Toronto
Rolling Stones
It's become a familiar summertime event in the city - spot Mick, Keith, Charlie or Ron grabbing a bite in chic Yorkville, riding a bicycle or signing autographs.
Yup, the Rolling Stones are back in town, spending several weeks in Toronto prepping for a world tour - Rolling Stones: OnStage, which begins Aug. 21 in Boston. The quartet arrived last week with minimal fanfare but plenty of smiles. "It's very exciting. When the Rolling Stones come to town my phone rings off the hook," says Ken Witt of the band's label Virgin Music Canada.
This is the fifth time the grizzled bad boys of rock practise their moves in advance of a world tour. They did the same in 2002 for the Licks tour, 1997 for Bridges to Babylon, 1994 for Voodoo Lounge and 1989 for Steel Wheels.

Modest About Honor
Bob Newhart
Bob Newhart responds with customary modesty when asked about his selection as a subject for the PBS series "American Masters":
"I don't think of myself as an American Master. I've just been making a living. I just thought that (my career) would end in five years."
But his popularity didn't end after his smash 1960 comedy album, "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." The collection of his monologues, such as "Abe Lincoln vs. Madison Avenue" and "The Nude Police Line-Up," made him a hot ticket on TV variety shows, in nightclubs and theaters. Then came two hit TV series. Not bad for a guy who used to be an accountant.
"American Masters," which airs 9 p.m. EDT Wednesday, traces Newhart's life and career with clips from his TV series and concert appearances plus comments by his fellow comedians and Newhart himself.

CNN's Latest Attempt
'Situation Room'
CNN promises a hard-news, everywhere-at-once news experience for viewers of its three-hour afternoon news show "The Situation Room," which bows Aug. 8.
"It's old-fashioned, good, solid, serious journalism, which I'm dedicated to," said CNN veteran Wolf Blitzer, who will anchor the show out of a new Washington, D.C. studio that will feature many of CNN's top correspondents, contributors and analysts in a revolving format.
The show, which replaces "Inside Politics" and "Crossfire" as well as Blitzer's 5 p.m. ET shows, will focus on the breaking and developing stories that seem to pop between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. ET just before the network nightly evening newscasts and cable news primetime shows.

CBS Renews Deal For Five Years
Grammy Awards
CBS has signed a five-year extension of its contract to broadcast the Grammy Awards, the music industry's highest honors, in a deal that keeps the annual show at CBS through 2011, the network said on Monday.
No financial terms of the renewal were disclosed. The Viacom Inc.-owned network has aired the Grammys every year since 1973 in one of the longest-running broadcast partnerships on U.S. television.

The details of one of the decorated cups and silver platters unearthed from the ruins of the 2,000 year old volcanic eruption of ancient Pompeii is shown in a handout photo released in Rome, July 18, 2005. Italian archaeologists on Monday displayed a dining set found in the ruins of a thermal bath in Pompeii, scene of an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. which killed thousands while filling and preserving the town with ash.

The First Disneyland Visitor
Dave MacPherson
Dave MacPherson may have been the first paying guest at Disneyland when the theme park opened its gates 50 years ago, but he didn't even have time for one ride. In a hurry to get back to campus for a college class, he instead visited a restroom after spending hours in line and left without as much as a souvenir.
Still, the honor of being the first paid admission came with a special perk: a lifetime pass for four to Disneyland and other Disney parks as they opened.
"I was the most popular guy at the college," said MacPherson, now 72, a retired journalist living in Monticello, Utah, about 240 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

Discovery Airing Re-Creation
Flight 93
The Discovery Channel will air a re-creation of the terrorist hijacking of Flight 93 on the fourth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The program will be called "The Flight That Fought Back" and will include about 45 minutes of re-created scenes depicting what happened before the plane crashed in a Southwestern Pennsylvania field. Forty passengers and crew members were killed.
The show is being produced by London-based Brook Lapping Productions, which is getting cooperation on the project from United Airlines and some family members of those killed in the attack.

Life Behind Bars
Judith Miller
As Judith Miller of The New York Times approaches the end of her second week in a Virginia jail, reports from behind bars reveal she is enduring stomach problems from jail food. She is also sharing a cell unit that had originally been designed to house just one person. Because of that, Miller had been forced to sleep on a mattress on the floor for a few days but now has her own bed.
"It has definitely dawned on her that this is really in jail -- it is certainly no summer camp," Times Executive Editor Bill Keller told E&P Monday. "The food has not agreed with her and we have been trying to impress on her that she needs to eat. We have been hammering that in."
Surprisingly few stories about Miller's experience in jail have emerged, with just one such story in her own paper. "I don't want to cross over the line into using the newspaper as a promotional vehicle for her case," Keller explained. "The story she is caught up in is a big story -- to the extent she is news we will write about it. We aren't going to start writing a Judy story everyday just to drum up sympathy. That becomes advocacy instead of journalism."

Producer Seeking Millions
Ashanti
Singer Ashanti was accused in a civil court case on Monday of abandoning her first music producer when he asked for money after she became commercially successful, an allegation she denied on the witness stand.
Genard Parker was an established music producer when Ashanti, then 16 years old, approached him in 1996 for help, his lawyer Jasmine Khalili said.
"This case is about abandoning the people that help us succeed," Khalili charged in opening statements in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, where the contract dispute is being heard by a jury.

Says Was Victim of a Lie
Roman Polanski
Roman Polanski, testifying on the first day of his libel suit against the publishers of Vanity Fair magazine, said Monday that he was the victim of an "abominable lie."
The Polish-born movie director is suing publisher Conde Nast over a 2002 article that said he seduced a woman on the way to the funeral of his murdered wife, Sharon Tate.
Polanski called the Vanity Fair article "particularly hurtful because it dishonors my memory of Sharon," adding, "that's not the way I behave."

Apologizes For Affair
Jude Law
Jude Law publicly apologized to his actress-fiancee, Sienna Miller, expressing his "sincere regret" over an affair with one of his children's nanny.
"Following the reports in today's papers, I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us," the 32-year-old actor said in a statement Monday to the British Press Association.
The nanny was identified in the newspaper reports as Daisy Wright, 26.

Brussels Throws Party
Tintin
The comic book hero Tintin will be feted for the first time in his hometown of Brussels next week, with soap-box races, exhibitions and a costume party being held to celebrate the boy reporter.
From July 20-23 the Belgian capital, which is modelling itself as the world's comic book capital, will hold a festival dedicated to the blond-haired adventurer aimed at "Tintinophiles aged seven to 77."
According to organisers, the "father" of Tintin, Georges Remi -- better known as Herge -- "has become the best ambassador for his home town", even if the stories were set away from Brussels as they won international fame.

On Trial In Rome
Getty Curator
The curator of antiquities at California's respected J. Paul Getty Museum went on trial in Rome on Monday accused of receiving stolen artefacts in a case closely watched by the international art world.
After a decade-long investigation, Italian prosecutors charged Marion True, who has been with the Getty for over 20 years, of criminal conspiracy to receive stolen goods and illegal receipt of archaeological artefacts.
True denies the charges and the Getty has defended her.
The case involves some 40 artefacts that prosecutors believe were illegally excavated or stolen and later acquired by the Getty, including a prized ancient Greek statue of Aphrodite.

In Memory
Geraldine Fitzgerald
Geraldine Fitzgerald, who appeared in such classic 1930s films as "Dark Victory" and "Wuthering Heights" and later had a career on the New York stage, has died after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. She was 91.
Fitzgerald had a tumultuous career at Warner Bros. in the 1940s, refusing roles and being placed on suspension by the studio. Yet during that decade she managed to appear in such films as "Shining Victory" (1942), "The Gay Sisters" (1943), "Watch on the Rhine" (1944) and "Nobody Lives Forever" (1946), a film noir gem which starred John Garfield.
In later years, she appeared as a character actress in such movies as "Ten North Frederick" (1958), "The Pawnbroker" (1965), "Rachel, Rachel" (1968), "Harry and Tonto" (1974), "Arthur" (1981) and "Easy Money" (1983).
Born in Dublin, Fitzgerald made her stage debut in 1932 at the Gate Theater and later appeared in several British films. She came to New York to act with Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater, but was quickly signed by Hollywood.
Fitzgerald's first marriage to Edward Lindsay-Hogg ended in divorce. She later married businessman Stuart Scheftel, who died in 1994.
Fitzgerald is survived by a son, director Michael Lindsay-Hogg of Los Angeles, and a daughter Susan Scheftel of New York.

A giant panda rests in a comparment at Shanghai Zoo Monday July 18, 2005 in Shanghai, China. The government said last month that power use in Beijing, Shanghai and other major cities has set new records and warned that portions of the country could face blackouts. Officials said earlier that power demand this summer could exceed China's generating capacity by up to 5 percent as a booming economy and the seasonal heat waves push up energy use.
