...only one software product for your kids this year, make it the Encarta Reference Suite 2000 ($64 with rebate), which includes an encyclopedia, atlas and dictionary.

In an America where the Chinese were still stereotyped as meek house servants and railroad workers, Bruce Lee was all steely sinew, threatening stare and cocky, pointed finger--a Clark Kent who didn't need to change outfits. He was the redeemer, not only for the Chinese but for all the geeks and dorks and pimpled teenage masses that washed up at the theaters...
