...eight weeks, beginning the last day of June, 1,400 children from the greater metropolitan area of New York City who feel a kinship for the arts will leave their neighborhoods each morning for the sylvan campus of the Usdan Center for the Creative and Performing Arts in Huntington, Long Island. Make no mistake. These aren't privileged children, and this day camp isn't "laboring under the pretense of being a preprofessional training school in the arts," says Dale Lewis, executive director of Usdan.

...chases just isn't the blast it used to be. SYLVESTER STALLONE will star in a (gasp!) small movie. "I've gotten as far as I can get in a certain genre," says Stallone. "Now it's time to come back to something I feel a real kinship for." He adds, "There are only so many catastrophes you can do before they start to look the same." In case you can't guess, he wants to try acting. In Copland, he'll play a partly deaf cop who's caught in a moral dilemma. "It's a role that makes...
