Passage: Stanley Kubrick, 70

The death of Stanley Kubrick robbed the film world Sunday of one of its towering masters and came just as he completed his latest opus, "Eyes Wide Shut," a star-studded project shrouded in secrecy. The Bronx-born Kubrick, who created such film classics as "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Lolita," "A Clockwork Orange," and "Dr. Strangelove," died Sunday at his home outside of London of natural causes.
