Such pressures affect those who work daily to fight stigma. Consider Michael Faenza. "If I didn't take medication for depression, I would drink a quart of Jack Daniels every week to slow my thoughts enough to go to sleep," he said recently.

Austin Powers goes head-to-head with Dr. Evil in Berkeley Systems' newest addition to the cheeky You Don't Know Jack trivia series. And in keeping with the latest trend in the toy business--coupling hardware with software--Mattel will show its Me2Cam, a digital camera that drops your live image into a (G-rated) virtual-reality game. Even the new Star Wars titles steer clear of the combat-heavy themes...
