  5. Scene & Heard: Steven Spielberg presents Jeffrey Katzenberg with Ambassadors of Humanity award

    There's no better proving ground for testing a friendship than by starting a restaurant and movie studio together from scratch.

Reading Chemerinsky's piece, you'd think a group of hysterically angry Muslim men prevented Oren from speaking at all. But the situation, as a look at a <a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/d7Japk">video recording</a> of the event makes clear, was much more complicated.
