Woody and Buzz become uneasy partners, Defiant Ones-style, when they are captured by Sid, the toy torturer next door. Sid must have spoken to a deep, dark streak in the animators, so lovingly do they detail the boy's atrocities. His bedroom, a playpen for Krafft-Ebing, is a place of ominous eccentric angles (his parents stuck him in the attic) and walls papered with posters for bands like Megadork.

...registered voters, an especially large sample that permits a high degree of accuracy. Between now and the 1996 election they will return to those same individuals to chart the fluctuation of their views.

...however. Some of the smallest features visible in the photo--delicate, stalklike projections reaching out from the clouds--are actually infant star systems the size of our solar system, just now emerging from the gas and dust that shrouded their birth.

"People had come up with plausible theories about star birth," says Arizona State University astronomer Jeff Hester, leader of the team that took the picture. "Then...
...been seen as the lesson that taught reporters to stop automatically believing government handouts--but Prochnau illustrates it in fresh, interesting ways. He recaptures the days when Saigon was still considered a journalistic backwater, a low rung on the promotion ladder for ambitious reporters. And he describes in considerable detail the reporters who arrived there in the early 1960s, particularly Malcolm Browne of the Associated Press, Neil Sheehan of United Press International and David Halberstam of the New York Times...
