And the game paused, with a leisurely euphoria, as fans of baseball and America took a good long look. But as McGwire hugged Sammy Sosa, lifting the Chicago Cub toward the heavens as fireworks went off above their heads, we were reminded: The future waits. Neither the home run race nor the 1998 season is over yet, and history is not yet done being made...

The fable of Simba the lion cub, who believes he has caused his father's death and exiles himself out of shame, is perhaps the most powerful of all the Disney latter-day cartoon myths. The story still depends too much on the exaggerated villainy of Simba's uncle Scar (John Vickery, nicely reprising Jeremy Irons' silky voicing of the character in the film); can't a kid disobey his father without help?
