...year to create a firm called @Home; it plans to bring the Internet and its World Wide Web--along with programs like local news shows--to home computers via cable-TV wires at 500 times the speed of signals over conventional telephone lines. That could enable companies like Walt Disney and Time Warner to feed their movies and TV shows to computers over the Internet...
...Riverdale, California, is for Dole. For now. To be honest, she says, she is not thinking much about the election. "With a five-year-old and a three-year-old, you don't get to watch the politics on TV. It's usually the Cartoon Network or the Disney Channel."

After Rockwell International's stock price leaped nearly 50%, to 527/8, CEO Donald Beall pocketed a tidy $5.5 million, a 45% bump over '94. Charles Walgreen...
...style to the current technological limits. Indulging in kooky comic-book shenanigans that makes Dick Tracy look downright lifeless, the madcap directors pulled out all the stops to create a modern-tale fairy tale on a par with Pinocchio. In fact, the frenetic energy created by the movie what Disney should have been trying to create for years instead of slapping out syrupy sing-along goo like Pocahontas...
