Finding an undiscovered genus of large land mammal was a stunning event in itself -- only three other new genuses have been documented in this century. But MacKinnon's beast was just the first of the wonders to emerge from Vu Quang and adjoining forests in Vietnam and Laos. In the past two years scientists have also found evidence of what appears to be two new species of deerlike creatures -- the giant muntjac and the quang khem -- and a novel species of fish resembling carp. Since exploration is still in its early stages, hopes are high that many more discoveries will...

The most honored drama was Tony Kushner's Perestroika, the second half of Angels in America, with six nominations...

To make it work required a happy confluence of factors: a resurgence of appealing films like The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast from Disney's cartoon unit, the company's revived marketing savvy under Eisner and the rise of the mall culture. "It's become instinctual for us," says Eisner, "that we do something either really, really big or really, really small. With these stores, we wanted to bring the Disney feeling into a mall environment...
