...next night--Independence Day--a dozen or so soldiers held a hot-dog cookout around the picnic table. A radio blared music while the soldiers played Wiffle ball and drained a keg of beer. Although 21 is the legal drinking age in Kentucky, younger troops--like the 18-year-old Glover--downed many beers that night. A staff sergeant on duty in the barracks did nothing to halt the illegal drinking. Glover and Winchell kept away from each other, one soldier said, and there was no overt hostility between them. As midnight drew closer, the keg dribbled dry. Glover began...
...Stein is an avowed, if preachy, family man. He cries when talking about his dog, Puppy Wuppy, which has a large role on episodes of the already taped talk show and, having been run over, is being stuffed. Stein, who remarried his entertainment-lawyer wife in 1977, has an adopted son.

Besides Woody and Buzz Lightyear, our animated Don Quixote and Pancho Sanza (the fun is figuring out who exactly is more deluded), you have the returning Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (now officially married), Slinky Dog, the incontinent Hamm, the still neurotic Rex and the ever-prone-to-PDA Bo Peep. The sequel adds a few new ones--most notably, Barbie (Mattel realized they lost a major marketing chance when they refused to let Pixar use their infamously-proportioned doll in the first film). Also...
...only know what I read in the papers," said the writer of the Wag the Dog screenplay. "[And] I don't read the papers...
