...name of the street-tough title character of a blaxploitation classic, rapper FOXY BROWN gave herself a lot to live up to. She proved worthy on her first album, Ill Na Na, with lewd lyrics, a hypersexual persona and platinum sales. Brown, 19, now has a second album, Chyna Doll, an equally provocative effort. She bristles when asked if she's going too far with her spiked heels and X-rated raps. "What's going too far? Marilyn Manson urinates on a crowd, and he's respected," she says. (Actually, he denies urinating on anyone, and his respect is somewhat...
...celebrated conservative who as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson argued in a memo that segregated schools were constitutional. He wrote so many solo dissents in his early years as a Justice, when the court was more liberal, that he kept a Lone Ranger doll on his mantelpiece. Though he has hired some 80 law clerks, none has been black (he responds that he has "never excluded consideration of anyone" based on race).

Mills, no stranger to the Hasty Pudding stage, lets the less farcical side of his acting abilities shine through while still making the audience howl with laugher and exuding a voice to swoon over...
...mentioned before, the gaggle of children who perform in the ballet help make it both entertaining to kids and adorable to adults. What pint-sized prima donna ballerina didn't want to be Clara, prancing about onstage in the swirliest dress with the best doll and dancing that breathtaking (and romantic?) duet with the Nutcracker Prince? Some of the intensely traditional ballet's parts, however, may ring a bit uncomfortable with audiences today--all the little boys receive guns and promptly pretend to shoot one another, while all the little girls receive dolls and are content to sit and rock...
