...role of Bird was performed by Don Bellamy, who appeared in the 1993 Broadway musical Red Shoes. From the moment he received his alto sax to his final moments lying on the stage, his performance brilliantly portrayed the ups and downs of a musicians life.

Although roughly a third of U.S. homes have entered the PC age, almost every American owns a TV--making the boob tube, at least theoretically, the ideal vehicle for bringing the Internet to a mass market. Now Palo Alto, California-based WebTV has teamed with Sony and Philips to roll out low-cost, Internet-TV browsing terminals that plug easily into television and phone lines. Then even the most byte-shy technophobe can surf the Net and enjoy the convenience of E-mail. ($329 to $349 [box] and $19.95 [monthly access...
