Their argument couched in moral terms, the unions are allied with U.S. environmental, human-rights and consumer activists in an effort to make social policy through trade. On Nov. 30, the first day of WTO deliberations, the AFL-CIO plans a rally in Seattle led by 900 Boeing machinists, whose employer is one of the world's top exporters. Union delegations representing everyone from teachers to teamsters are flocking in from 25 states and 143 nations. Dockworkers plan to shut down the port. Even the Wobblies are roused. The Puget Sound chapter of Industrial Workers of the World is orchestrating...
...LIKE TO THANK GOD Does God really have a hand in the outcome of sporting events? Last week the Supreme Court agreed to decide whether student-led invocations before high school games are constitutional. And since so many winning sports stars take time to thank God during post-game interviews, we asked religious leaders to weigh in on what team God roots...
...manager, fiddled repeatedly with the lineup in a friendly baseball game against Venezuela last week following a summit between the two countries. Ever the prankster, Castro slowly replaced his starting team of retired players with ringers from the country's championship Pan Am Games squad.

Edward Villella's marvelous Miami City Ballet recently gave a performance of Prodigal Son at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark that all but exploded off the stage, and Seattle's Pacific Northwest Ballet, led by Francia Russell and Kent Stowell, has just mounted a Midsummer Night's Dream that is causing coast-to-coast buzz. But Farrell's ad hoc troupe, whipped into shape with just three weeks of intensive rehearsal, is already impressive enough to suggest that in a better-regulated universe, America...
Woody (voiced again by Tom Hanks) confronts toy mortality, the temptations of celebrity and, yes, the possibilities of sexual adventure (with Joan Cusack's Jessica the cowgirl). That's a lot for an earnest little cowhand to handle. But the gang from Andy's bedroom (led by Tim Allen's Buzz Lightyear, naturally) offers him daring, good-humored support during his multiple crises. Just getting Slinky the Dog, Rex the Dinosaur and Mr. Potato Head across a busy street is a task of Schwarzeneggerian proportions--but funny. Pixar's improved computer animation is up to all the demands of this...
