...Pixar was on to a new set of enigmas: how to render photo-realistic hair and skin, how to make fabric crumple with verisimilitude when the character wearing it moves. "Look at how stunningly beautiful this is," says Lasseter, standing in the dirt outside the studio, holding a colorful autumn leaf up to the brilliant midday sun. "Look at the incredible detail. It's spectacular. It's a whole new world you can walk in." Why? Lasseter smiles as broadly as a child, dreaming, no doubt, of movie fantasies to come. "Because...
...Republicans have a 21-to-16 majority, just three defectors to the Democratic side would be enough to defeat an impeachment before it reached the full House. The chastening '98 election has created a new atmosphere on the committee. California freshman Jim Rogan saw his 15% lead in the autumn polls drop to almost nothing on Nov. 3. That brush with oblivion he blames in part on the fact that his position on the Judiciary Committee required him to second very publicly his party's pro-impeachment line.

The second piece, "The Solitary in Autumn," was hardly more sanguine; the singer moaned "I weep in my loneliness; autumn stays too long in my heart." But the piece was not all despairing. "Of Youth" extolled friendship, while "Of Beauty" explored aesthetic unity in nature. Although each song seemed discrete, each number was enmeshed under one unifying rubric...
...into closets, rummages through attics and basements, dragging out the industrial-strength parkas, the mukluks, the Gore-Tex vests and the flannel-lined chinos, as we prepare for winter in New Hampshire. Pause for a moment at that last phrase: "winter in New Hampshire." Unlike "April in Paris" or "autumn in New York" or "springtime in the Rockies," no one has ever written a song titled Winter in New Hampshire. Ever wonder...
