It all begged a question. Why had this glittery triumvirate come forward at this particular moment? They invoked history. Theirs was the first studio to be founded by filmmakers since 1919, when Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and D. W.

This, too, was about artistic independence, a chance for talented, creative people to work their own way, said Spielberg, the world’s most successful film director....

Dwight, a 44-year-old former tech entrepreneur, is not naive; he’s moved half of the firm’s production overseas in the past 18 months–while stubbornly holding on to the company’s home operation. But privately held Timbuk2, with about $5 million a year in sales and 45 employees, has always swum against the tide. The distinctively flashy colors on its bags stand out in a sea of boring black. And while the company is known internationally for its bike bags, which are sold in outdoors-goods stores across the United States and Europe, it’s also expanded into luggage and purses....

On Sept. 11, Tsang suggested that Hong Kong’s laissez-faire tradition was outdated. “Everybody says Hong Kong has a ‘positive nonintervention policy’,” Tsang told journalists after a conference on China’s next five-year plan. But he said the policy was crafted “a long time ago” and claimed the government “had never said we’d made it a blueprint.” Tsang’s own writings and even Hong Kong’s high-school textbooks speak otherwise....
