But by picking her as America's Best Movie Star, we tried to explore how a performer can transcend her roles and exert such a powerful appeal to audiences that tens of millions are as moved by what happens to her off the screen as on.

When her son T.C., one of a handful of blacks at his high school, needed to find a date to take to last year's winter dance, Scotton gave him the list of Jack and Jill families with teenage girls.

Located half an hour north of Boston, Tewksbury is home to Avid Technology, whose 1,700-plus employees are resisting the attempts of Japanese giants Sony Corp. and Matsushita Electric Industrial (the parent company of Panasonic) to penetrate the fast-growing market for digital video-editing software...
