...first glance, Benny's story seems to be yet another case of a patient asserting his right to die when medicine can only prolong suffering. The twist is that Benny is still, in the eyes of the law, a child who cannot make such weighty decisions on his own. If he were in his 70s, the decision would seem like a victory: a dignified death with the consolation of a rich life fondly remembered. Benny, however, seems not only too young to die but also too young to want...
Hynde is 43 now, and although her youthful rebellion seems tamed, it hasn't quite been vanquished. "Bring on the revolution/ I want to die for something," she sings on Revolution. Night in My Veins celebrates quickie sex. But the album's most intensely felt moment comes on I'm a Mother (Hynde's two daughters are 11 and 9), a feisty rebuttal to soft images of motherhood: "I understand blood/ I understand pain/ There can be no life without it," she sings.

Disney cartoons were often the first films kids saw and the first that forced them to confront the loss of home, parent, life. These were horror movies with songs, Greek tragedies with a cute chorus. They offered shock therapy to four-year-olds, and that...
...Pampers, Mom. Get ready to explain to the kids why a good father should die violently and why a child should have to witness the death. And while you're at it, prepare to be awed at the cunning of a G-rated medium that brings to bright life emotions that can be at once convulsive, cathartic and loads of fun. In The Lion King, premiering in New York City and Los Angeles this week and opening around the U.S. on June 24, primal Disney returns with a growl...
