This sounds like a great idea for a book, or even a movie! TERRY MCMILLAN, 46, just married JONATHAN PLUMMER, 24, a student she met while on holiday in Jamaica about three years ago. Attending were her son from her first marriage and her sister Crystal. If this all sounds a tad familiar, it's probably because it's currently playing at a multiplex near you. In McMillan's book How Stella Got Her Groove Back, now a movie, the lead character, 40, meets a 20-year-old student in Jamaica whom she eventually marries. And, why yes, Stella does...

I found it to be a lovely change from the Capitol." That's not necessarily a reflection on all of official Washington. Blackman just finished writing Seasons of Her Life, a biography of Secretary of State Madeline Albright, which will...
...about $1 million for a conventional one. The projection system uses the largest commercial film format available--15-perforation 70 mm--10 times as large as conventional 35 mm. But IMAX and the theater owners hope to scale down costs too, for instance by replacing the $300 liquid-crystal eyeglasses used for 3-D movies with disposable polarized goggles. (The 3-D system can also show 2-D movies like Everest) IMAX films are shorter, so more customers can file in--450,000 a year, nine times the attendance at conventional movies...
