...kids' movies. "They want what's slightly illicit," says David Vogel, president of Disney's family-fare division. Rather than being an enticement, the family-film label is now used sparingly. Even though Meledandri's division is called Fox Family Films, the studio won't release pictures under that banner for fear of driving audiences away...

"If anyone should do this, I should do it," the Texas billionaire told CNN's Larry King on Wednesday. "I'm in a unique position to do it." Lamm has said he welcomes a challenge from Perot, figuring that he would be far more credible...
