...plastic pantheon of action figures, there's Barbie, Ken, G.I. Joe and now...IKE? And KISS? The new dolls were introduced at last week's American International Toy Fair, along with several thousand other playthings, including a Barney that will talk back to you and acres of movie-themed gimcracks. Aren't Kiss fans getting a little old to be playing with dolls? Apparently not. "[Lead singer] Gene Simmons contacted us," says Bob LoMonaco, senior vice president of sales for Todd McFarlane, which makes the Kiss dolls. "This is the first celebrity doll we've made, but there has been...
...most innovative investigations on the body in recent years. This omission would not be nearly as noteworthy if the curators had not gone so far out of their way to include a variety of media ranging from glass to bronze to ceramics. Video artists including Gary Hill, Matthew Barney, Bill Viola and Tony Oursler (whose pillow-headed figures come to life with eerie projections) have all made significant contributions on the figure in the form of video sculptures and installations, many of which could easily be displayed in the MFA's galleries...

At one point he cautioned, "There's something in the warm summer air tonight, can you feel it?" Yes, it was a blast of hot air from a himbo who knew what had happened at events taped that afternoon. E.T., take him home...
...academics, journalists and artists. A teacher makes $90,000 his or her first year, and a staff reporter at The New York Times makes several hundred thousand dollars. In this magical kingdom, a partner at Sullivan and Cromwell earns $25,000 a year, and similarly those at Smith Barney, Bear Stearns, McKinsey and the others receive a meager $30,000 salary. Would Harvard, Yale, Stanford and Columbia Law Schools still attract enough students to fill next year's incoming class? Would the same percentage of Harvard seniors still decide to undergo recruiting? In sum, would these corporate-America professions still...
