...Pixar, creator of the computerized movie hit, caused a sensation when its $22 opening price doubled and then some in its first hours of trading as an initial public offering last November, making chairman Steve Jobs, the millionaire co-founder of Apple Computer, into a paper billionaire. Indeed, for the past two years it has seemed that every twentysomething computer entrepreneur who could wear a suit long enough could get Wall Street bankers to sell stock to the public...
...could agree more than the undisputed lord of theme, transplanted Brit Robert Earl, that "the desire to be entertained is growing." The former dinner-theater operator left Hard Rock Cafe in 1992 for Planet Hollywood, which he started the year before.

In the process of searching for historical accuracy, they are overlooking the most fundamental aspects of Christianity: the beliefs that we are all created by the same Creator, that the life-and-death cycle is an ongoing one and does not cease when one individual passes away, that good is desirable and must be encouraged and practiced and that evil is undesirable and should be contained and shunned...
