...will we choose the TIME 100? Partly, we hope, with your help. Already, the TIME Website time.com has an area soliciting opinions. In addition, TIME and CBS will host a series of public forums around the country where people will debate the relative influence of those who might make the list. Schools and colleges will be asked to participate. We also invite you to send in your suggestion via mail (TIME 100, Room 25-48, Time & Life Building, Rockefeller Center, New York, N.Y. 10020) or E-mail time100@time.com...

ABC should be ashamed even to consider her. What's wrong with Fergie's getting jobs at home? MARY G. WEAVER Chester...
...lyricist, and several African tribal numbers adapted from music written for the film by Hans Zimmer and Mark Mancina. Getting her complex production into stageworthy shape, however, has not been easy. First, just before rehearsals started in Minneapolis, Taymor had to have emergency gallbladder surgery. Then, she faced a host of technical problems, from malfunctioning props to elaborate scene changes that couldn't be made quickly enough. For the first few preview performances, the show was forced to insert a pause just before the big wildebeest stampede to give the crew time to change the set. (Taymor has since inserted...
