...fairly safe bet, but the comparably priced baseball drama The Rookie was a much safer one for the same studio, since it appealed to a broader demographic. Box-office results show that boys resolutely avoid chick flicks. "If you have a female lead in a movie," says Oren Aviv, marketing president for Buena Vista Pictures, "only females are going to go. And you better have a star that girls want to see fall in love...
...first suicide bombing, last Wednesday, claimed the life of a policeman near Umm al-Fahm junction in northern Israel. The following day, just after 1p.m., a man boarded a crowded No. 4 bus in the heart of Tel Aviv.

The next day a man exploded his payload on a Tel Aviv bus, killing six people and wounding more than 50. Hours later, Israeli troops blasted Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Ramallah headquarters. The army destroyed nearly every building in the sprawling compound in an effort to smoke out about 20 wanted militants who are holed up inside with Arafat and his aides. Curfews were...
