Priced at $90, the toy is more expensive than the average stocking stuffer. But it comes with headphones, a high-resolution screen and an accessory called Video Link that enables players to hook two machines together for head-to-head competition. Not all the games involve zapping; some call for role playing. Nintendo hopes the diversity of the games will help attract girls, who represent 25% of Game Boy's following...
Despite its customized carpeting of a soft-rock score, Immediate Family isn't exactly sentimental. It's a fond diagnosis of sentiment, which director Jonathan Kaplan (Heart Like a Wheel, The Accused) observes with his usual handsome care. Close and Woods, more familiar playing high-powered candidates for psychosis, are laser-precise as the Spectors. They work hard at appearing comfortable in roles without edges. But the Spectors, who set the film's agenda, cede sympathy to Lucy, as the well-to-do in movies inevitably do to the poor-but-spunky...
Since she didn't date, didn't wear makeup (still doesn't) and took college classes while still in high school, she didn't have a typical American adolescence, but says she didn't care.

To the right of the wall would be a curved set of stairs...
...later, she brought an unusual-looking model: an asymmetrical black granite disk that would be 11 1/2 ft. in diameter at the top but only 20 in. across its base, an object that from a distance would appear to be floating in air. It would be 2 1/2 ft. high and have water flowing evenly and slowly across its flat surface. Underneath the water, etched in the stone and looking like points of a sundial, would be the words -- the names and the events -- that would tell the history of the civil rights era. They begin with...
