When she established the "world's largest piggy bank," people all over the country contributed spare change to raise more than $1 million (matched by Oprah) to send disadvantaged kids to college. When she blurted that hearing about the threat of mad-cow disease "just stopped me cold from eating another burger!", the perceived threat to the beef industry was enough to trigger a multimillion-dollar lawsuit (which...

Disney's Imagineers did a convincing makeover. When Franklin Sonn, the South African ambassador to the U.S., saw the place last month, he said, "This is the bush veldt. This is my home...
...teenage angst bullshit has a body count!" And so, Veronica Sawyer, god-daughter of teenage troubles, instigated the rebirth of the noir movement. People in Black (PIBs), Veronica and J.D. do battle with the forces of popularity and color coordination amidst the perils of keggers, footballers, and homophobic cow-tippers.
