That man scares me. I'm increasingly aware just how much of the planet he owns. Ever see that Bond villain played by Jonathan Pryce? Didn't he have an oriental wife too? Something in that....
That was, and still is, the Post. Be aware, however, that nobody in New York with an education takes the Post seriously. On commutes into Manhattan, everyone reads The Wall Street Journal. On their commutes home, everyone reads the Post. The Post is a tabloid with about eight pages of gossip mingled among its sensationalist headlines and always a nearly-naked girl somewhere up front. They do have good sports coverage though. The Post, like Weekly World News, is a fun read and that's about it.

In Tomorrow Never Dies, the wife of Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) was Paris Carver, played by Teri Hatcher who is white. Nothing in the script refers to the nationality or ethnicity of Mrs. Carver save that she is played with an American accent.
