...nine Republican White House hopefuls. The newDemocratic National Committee siteunderstandably strikes a more defensive tone, with a barrage of White House press releases, a "Connecting with America" page and a crew of "outside experts" brought in to "validate" President Clinton's budget plan. The upside: "Al Gore's Cartoon Gallery," a video clip of Sen. Ted Kennedy reading from James Joyce's "Ulysses" and -- in the tradition of the "Socks" page on the White House Web site -- a discourse on the origin of the Democratic Party donkey. The GOP, whose supporters have a longer Internet track record, is gracious enough...
...Chast, Karen Barbour, Polly Becker and Sandra Dionisi -- whom associate art directors Sharon Okamoto and Janet Parker commissioned to interpret the topic for Time. "I think a lot about aging," says Kunz, 38. "It's such a youth-oriented culture."

It is a boy-meets-girl, boy-gets-girl, boy-loses-girl story whose plot is familiar in every weepie affair, from Romeo and Juliet to The Bridges of Madison County. And it follows the rule of historical romance: Print the legend...
...full of swelling passages that are artfully complemented by the Disney artists' imagery of pristine streams and forests. Menken's lyricist, Stephen Schwartz of Broadway's Godspell and Pippin, has a poetic righteousness that deftly avoids propaganda. Colors of the Wind -- among the loveliest ballads composed for a Disney cartoon, and sung to fierce perfection by Judy Kuhn -- ends with the admonition, "You can own the earth, and still/ All you'll own is earth until/ You can paint with all the colors of the wind...
