...stuff for Apple." Today, he says over lunch, he has already answered 25 e-mails and 10 phone calls relating to Pixar, and by nightfall he will cover at least 100 Apple e-mails--many from fevered Mac-heads around the world. "If somebody doesn't flush a toilet around here," he says in mock complaint, "I get e-mail from Kansas about...
...Which is why the recent flush of movies geared toward men that seem to have fewer guns and more thought has been terrifically surprising.

A strong economy gives bright students a wider range of options and less of a perceived need to seek out a "safe" profession (medical schools experienced similar fluctuations in the late '70s and early '80s during flush economic periods).
