...program back together, they shifted its appeal from the heroism of individuals to scientific cleverness--without success. Only last year's Pathfinder probe to Mars revived some of the keen attention people gave the space effort in the early 1960s. However entertaining it was to watch the cute little robot strut its stuff, it would always be the person in space who enthralled the public heart. All the old images that came back with Alan Shepard's death a few weeks ago--the splashdown, the A-O.K.s, the Michelin tire man's space suits--connected to our favorite machines...
...everything was going to be different. I was on my way to a fancy (though unspeakably boring) publishing internship and felt eons away from the emotional frailties that plagued me during the PBH summer. And once again, I fell victim to many things I didn't know: High heels, cute as they may look, are not comfortable if you're walking in them for more than five minutes. Garbage does not take itself out. Having a T-pass in the summer will get you out of the house like never before. Staying up all night creating a Web page...
...Paula Jones has got herself a new nose, I hope it turns out to be, as my mother would have put it, cute as a button. Self-improvement is the American way.

...emotion are out of fashion; today's movie children are action figures. Yes, girls too. Madeline (Hatty Jones), the heroine of Ludwig Bemelmans' children's books, is an orphan, but she spends little time pondering her fate. Instead, she does what contemporary movie kids have to do: get into cute trouble. She incites insurrection at the boarding-school dinner table, pontificates on a bridge railing and falls into the Seine, plots to set off firecrackers under the feet of innocent visitors--it is all meant to be super delicious...
...Maurice (Grant Cowan) and the Beast himself (Fred Inkley) resemble the cast of Cats infinitely more than they look like vicious forest carnivores. In addition, while all of the living objects in the castle don exquisite costumes, their exaggerated gestures and facial expressions worth of Jim Carrey start out cute but quickly degenerate into irritating. They deserve props for being able to perform at all in such rigid costume designs, particularly the suave pseudo-French "gentleman" candelabra Lumiere (David De Vries), who has to sing and dance with flames coming out of his hands. A note to all the younger...
