Joke on the Cutting-Room Floor Even STEVEN SPIELBERG can be edited out of a film. Mr. Spielberg expected to be the subject of a joke in the opening minutes of ''Men in Black II,'' the follow-up to the 1997 sci-fi comedy. But the gag he heard about is not in the film.

Survivors Recount Details of Killings Above Carnegie Deli for 2 Juries
By SUSAN SAULNY
Rosemond Dane told two juries yesterday that something ''didn't seem right'' when two men entered her friend's apartment above the Carnegie Delicatessen. The tension that froze everyone else in the room. The heavy coats on a hot summer day. There was one other clue, Ms. Dane testified at the trials of the two men accused of shooting five people in the apartment on May 10, 2001: the way her friend, Jennifer Stahl, had second thoughts after deciding to buzz one of the men up, saying, ''I don't...

By SUSAN SAULNY
The voice on the recording sounding shaky, frightened and desperate: ''A bunch of us have been shot!'' a man screamed. ''I'm bleeding out of the side of my head and I'm losing a lot of blood. Please, God!'' he cried, later adding: ''They came in, they broke in and they had guns.'' ''Hurry please,'' the man, Anthony Veader, said, the pace of his voice changing from an avalanche of words to something slower, like a prayer. ''Hurry up.''

When Acting Speaks Volumes
By Martin Arnold
A spoken book. There can be tremendous pleasure in hearing a book, if the voice of the narrator is right. Those authors who don't narrate their own books have in a sense ceded to an actor the direct connection to the listener-reader that is part of the power of authorship, in much the same way a playwright does. But if the whisper or the rumble resonating from an audiobook has the right complexity of tones, it can be as satisfying as theater. Which meant that eventually, great narrators woul...
