The crowd of 5,000, mainly young women between the ages of Dawson's Creek and Felicity (with a few Rugrats and Ally McBeals mixed in), have gathered to catch a glimpse of the latest heartthrob, their corazon. The fans at the front of the line enter the store and stumble out with a signature scrawled across a CD or on a poster or even on their skin. Some leave crying tears of joy. At a multiplex across the street, Fox is holding one of the first screenings of The Phantom Menace...

The clothes were dipped in agar and treated with mold, bacteria and yeast; they were then left to develop new colors and textures (the smell is a bonus). Ideal accessory: that fuzzy fruit in the back of the fridge...
...celebrity to bring it about, to come up with one plan for how 400 different groups should "take the hill." Celebrating its second anniversary, America's Promise is on its way to surpassing its pledge to help "2 million kids by 2000." It's hard to measure the bottom line of an activity that doesn't have a traditional balance sheet. But to get away from the mushy anecdotal indices of success, Powell got the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers (it volunteered) to evaluate the second year's effort. The firm sampled 91 of the 441 commitments made...
