...will to power is what has kept us on his side after all these years. His stumbling, brilliant performance, cramped by stomach flu, in last year's play-offs overwhelmed the opposition by sheer force of spirit. Last week his halftime speech to his team in Game 3 against Utah was, "Let's bury these guys and make them think about it." They routed the Jazz by 42 points. Without the benefit of a rival (imagine Ali without Frazier, Navratilova without Evert) and without innovating the game (Dr. J had already defined the dunk), Jordan became the greatest player...
When a helicopter carrying Frank Wells, president of the Walt Disney Co., crashed in Nevada on Easter Sunday, 1994, Hollywood whispered that the tragedy had taken Disney's heart with it. It also left the now 56-year-old Michael Eisner, the company's brilliant chief executive, lacking a confidant and a suitable successor.

Cyberswine, produced by Los Angeles-based Brilliant Digital Entertainment, is one of the first "Multipath Movies"--animated stories that let the viewer direct the action. You get to stroll down a narrative path of your choosing: stick with Cyberswine, or peel off and follow the action from the perspective of one of his pals. Don't dig the pig's vibes? Click on an icon in the corner of the screen, and tweak his character to make him more clever, anxious, aggressive or caring. You can also...
...relatively modest amount of material that will be seen by everyone on the globe. But in the next century anyone will be able to create a movie, music, literature, a magazine or a video game and distribute it as bits over the network to billions. At least in theory. Brilliant Digital is marketing a developers' tool kit that makes it relatively simple to cobble together your own interactive cartoons. "You don't need any programming experience," insists Cheri Grand, a company spokeswoman. "I could create a Heather Locklear character, animate her and do whatever I want with her."
