Stories about AIDS research these days tend to fall into one of three categories: promising treatments, oversold developments or elegant science. This one has elegance written all over it and a rather striking picture to boot.

Ten Things I Hate About You might be considered the cinematic Cliffs Notes to The Taming of the Shrew; and Gellar has signed up for Cruel Inventions, an adaptation of Dangerous Liaisons. The WB network's fall schedule will include Felicity, a series about a California girl who rebels against Daddy's wishes that she become a doctor and attend his alma mater. "She arrives in Manhattan on her own dime with everything at stake," explains its creator, J.J. Abrams. "Her bravery and optimism are designed to inspire girls...
