...Alien Encounter, movie directors will have to rely on mere sight and sound for their scare effects, and moviegoers will have to make do with spook shows like Species. Films, of course, can still do a thing or two that haunted houses can't: develop elaborate story lines, depict complex emotions, lift the audience by means other than hydraulics.

Morrison and Kincaid, with their lyrical prose and powerful descriptions, have produced works of beauty unrivaled by most contemporary--and many canonical--writers. They have created literary masterpieces that poignantly depict female adolescents coping with their burgeoning sexuality and racial identity. But for the West Chester school board, each writer's challenging of race and gender stereotypes seems to strike a raw nerve...
