...elaborate dresses the dancers from the Palace of Sweets may don more elaborate sequin patterns than the average prom queen but the stars of the show are the adorable animals. The repertoire of the dancing bear (danced by Zach Grubbs, Marc Estrada or James Mills) rivals the average Olympic gymnast's. The smaller fry--the four sheep and tiny mouse in particular--do not do more than hop and scurry across the stage; nonetheless, they win more squeals of delight from the audience than the Sugar Plum Fairy does...
EMANCIPATED. DOMINIQUE MOCEANU, 17, Olympic gold-medal gymnast; by a Texas state judge; in Houston. The 1996 champion was declared a legal adult in a settlement with her parents, whom she accused of squandering her earnings.

Moceanu's parents, having transplanted themselves to Houston when Dominique was 10 so that she could train with a coach there, stopped...
That's a balance the most nimble Chinese gymnast would find tough to maintain. The Net, after all, is designed to be open. And if the idea of the Web is to make Chinese firms more competitive, that means letting them have access to everything from DuPont's chemicals website to the U.S. Patent Office's listing of new inventions. For that reason, some Chinese think the government will drop all its talk about an intranet and throw open the doors. Says a 24-year-old engineer at Unicom-Sparkice: "Walk into any Chinese company with Net access and look...
