...movie's message, pushing dreaming and mental exploration, is undeniably one children need to be reminded of, but it is so baldly stated as to be almost insulting. You see, Fantasia is the world of limitless human imagination, but it is crumbling to nothingness because people are reluctant to dream and wonder. And as people stop imagining, the Nothing will claim even more territory, in conjunction with the evil forces of those who seize power by stamping out free thought. So kids, stay away from those video games, read a good book or two, and dare to dream...
...brawn alone did not make Italy's Francesco Damiani, 25, the European champion in the amateur super-heavyweight division. Much of the credit belongs to his older brother Marco, who struggled to become a world-class boxer despite the handicaps imposed by childhood polio. Realizing at last that the dream was beyond his grasp, Marco pushed the oversize, underachieving Francesco into the ring instead.

In this version of the dream, the idea is that every child can grow up to be President. Her immigrant father, Ferraro recalled last week as she stood alongside Walter Mondale in St. Paul, made her believe that "in America, anything...
Ferraro came close to the mark when she spoke of "a sense of new possibilities and pride." A generation ago, for a fifth-grade girl to dream of becoming President was barely thinkable, but last week that was certified as one of the post-Ferraro "new possibilities." As Dr. Carol Nadelson, the Incoming President of the American Psychiatric Association, pointed out, male children will learn the new rules too. "A fifth-grade boy," she says, "also has a view of a woman as being in a kind of role. This change expands his view of women...
