...found his chance to shine in this summer's comedy hit, There's Something About Mary. For those of you who missed Stiller's smashing turn in Flirting with Disaster, here's your chance to catch him at his very best--playing the lovable loser with a heart of gold. There's Something About Mary, though offensive and just plain gross at times, is still funny, original and not to be missed. Most of us left Mary still chuckling and wondering to ourselves where the writers could think up such scenarios and why more of the so-called humor movies...

Most teen films don't do this well, and most young TV stars can't guarantee B.O. gold. Movies starring Campbell (Wild Things) and the slightly older Friends cast (Picture Perfect, Fools Rush In, Romy & Michele's High School Reunion) typically bump their heads on the $30 million ceiling. Teen movies still serve an old function: to caulk the crevices in the release schedule and create cheap product that, if it doesn't make a bundle, won't lose one either. Like I Was a Teenage Werewolf and the Elvis films of 40 years ago, they are reliable B movies...

...play may conjure up images of gold-chain-draped record executives illegally buying off disc jockeys with envelopes full of money and drugs. Those days have mostly gone, along with the deejays who were caught taking under-the-turntable payoffs during the payola scandals of the 1960s and '80s. (The Justice Department, however, recently began a probe of illicit payments allegedly made to radio stations by Latin-music giant Fonovisia Records.) Pay-for-play is done out in the open, with the money going to the station, not the deejay. And it's all perfectly legal. Under FCC rules, such...

...medical care became a trillion-dollar industry, investors who had made a killing in other sectors shifted their sights to the health-care industry. Managed care is seen as the most efficient way to extract new gold. The less doctors and hospitals provide, the more money they can make. The results: record gains--hospital profits alone hit a high of $21.3 billion in 1996, up 25% from 1995--while more Americans than ever are uninsured. Most of the proposed, limited reforms will merely confine the worst abuses. What is needed is not containment but a fundamental overhaul. ROSE ANN DEMORO...
