...helps shape young opinion. In Chicago, Ryan, an 11-year-old girl, intently watches a scene from one of her favorite TV dramas, Dawson's Creek. She listens as the character Jen, who lost her virginity at 12 while drunk, confesses to her new love, Dawson, "Sex doesn't equal happiness. I can't apologize for my past." Ryan is quick to defend Jen. "I think she was young, but if I were Dawson, I would believe she had changed. She acts totally different now." But Ryan is shocked by an episode of her other favorite show, Buffy the Vampire...
...does all this equal a company in trouble? Burke, who left after 12 productive years at the company (he is credited with turning around the troubled Euro Disney park in France), offers up some heartfelt pro-Eisner spin.

But with a sticking point so fundamental, it's just as well that the talks are being hosted in the city that wasn't built...
...daily papers. The jolt of the work was its off-register blear, its bright-crude colors; but more so, his icy message that the whole world was product. If everything is reducible to an assembly-line image for sale, then Marilyn, Brillo, cows, Elvis and tabloid death are all equal--and equally convertible to cash. Warhol summed up his career with the words, "I started as a commercial artist, and I want to finish as a business artist...
