DIED. LEON FORREST, 60, ambitious novelist whose stream-of-consciousness works explored black history; of cancer; in Evanston, Ill. Forrest traversed generations to examine slavery in The Bloodworth Orphans; in his masterwork, Divine Days, he devoted 1,138 pages to a week on Chicago's South Side...
...Katzenberg, Disney animation flourished with a new visual and musical verve. Nearly every film, from Oliver & Company (1988) to The Lion King (1994), outgrossed its predecessor by 40% to 50%.

The success of Forrest Gump has made him Hollywood's philosopher-king, free to spend a fortune doing for the simple pieties what he recently did for simple-mindedness: make them look like a nice easy road to spiritual fulfillment. Zemeckis and his colleagues have been all over the press congratulating themselves on throwing...
