...buoyant as a Macy's parade float; Jeffrey Katzenberg, his relentless energy packed into the trim lines of a bantam rooster. Some animation wizard--at Eisner's Disney or Katzenberg's DreamWorks--could build a clever scenario around the adventures of these two critters. But don't expect to see a cartoon version of Katzenberg's lawsuit against Disney anytime soon. A film about that trial, which had Hollywood adrool over a public brawl between two of the town's most potent moguls, would be a drama of rage and rancor. Call it An Uncivil Action...

The percentage of high school girls who expect to stay married for life dropped from 68% in 1976 to 64% in 1995. Fifty-three percent say it is worthwhile to have a child out of wedlock, compared with 33% in 1976. Why?
