...movie theaters, it's a wasteland of retreads. Rugrats in Paris and 102 Dalmatians are unwelcome sequels, The Grinch is an uninvited, ill-intentioned remake (it was the first movie I've walked out of since Boxing Helena), The Sixth Day is another Arnold clone (my brother carped, "I saw that last year"; "Nooo. That was End of Days," I answered). Unbreakable has its charms, but it also relies on the same pacing, colors, stars (Willis and a Haley Joel look-alike), and even kitchen (!) as The Sixth Sense. Bounce showcases a been-there-done-that Benneth love affair, Charlie...
Bush's blueprint is the Margaret H. Cone Head Start Center in Dallas, where kindergartners' verbal scores rocketed 20% on standardized exams after the center adopted a language-centered curriculum. But this formula, slowly set in motion by a 1998 federal law, could be difficult to clone nationwide: average per pupil spending for Head Start is slightly more than $5,000, vs. more than $7,000 at the corporate-backed Cone Center. Even if Congress okays the move from HHS to the Education Department (President Jimmy Carter tried--and failed--to do the same), the change of responsibility will...

...great enabler for other things I would like to do as well and because it's a great job to have as a father. So given that as the goal of its success, I will give the audience exactly what they want short of a George clone. But if anyone asks, will we see shades of George? You bet your ass you will...
...Although extraordinarily clever as conceptual art and an enjoyable listen, Kid A, as one would expect from a clone, is not particularly striking in its musical originality. Peter Frampton was experimenting with electronic voice manipulation when my parents were still in college, the synthesized matrix in the album's title track resembles devices Bjork has been employing since Post, "Optimistic" could easily be mistaken for an R.E.M. tune and "Morning Bell" sounds like a track cut from Portishead's Dummy...
