...Then Leiber and Stoller turned around and masterminded the lushest, most romantic and musically inventive genre rock had yet heard: the Drifters? song book. Their first effort, the King composition "There Goes My Baby," is still one of pop?s weirdest records: a standard doo-wop lament that has four violins and a cello sawing away (a jarring innovation back then) and, like a distant war drum, a timpani that no one knew how to tune and so hits one note no matter what the chord change. When Wexler first heard this bizarre melange, he was more than disappointed...
...sung by Phil Collins. It has a standard villain: a grating white hunter (whose musculature nicely mimics Kerchak's, thus suggesting their similarity as imperfect male role models for the boy). It has a reeeeally cute baby baboon. It enfolds our hero in a dream jungle, painted in the lushest of sherbetty forest colors and shot in a new, virtual 3-D format called Deep Canvas that vivifies the scenes. Its set pieces (Tarzan swipes a tail hair from Tantor the elephant, fights Sabor to the death, studies human history and teaches Jane how to sail through the jungle...
...comes with a steamy sales pitch. Imagine a 5-in. CD that holds 20 times more data than a CD-ROM and offers the richest sound you've ever heard and the lushest images you've ever seen. Throw in digital TV, the standards for which were approved by the feds last month, and the result just might be the culmination of the consumer electronics industry's long search for a grand unified theory of home entertainment: one hardy, gleaming box that plays music better than your stereo, video better than your vcr, and software better than your...
HOLSTEINS. Dairy cattle graze on some of America's lushest farm land. Investors buy cattle from places like Stookey Hoisteins, Inc., in Leesburg, Ind., which advertises in publications like Wealthbuilding. Then gains start flowing. First, the investment, over a five-year depreciation period, counts as an "off the top" deduction in the same way as savings in an Individual Retirement Account. It thus lowers the investor's taxable earnings. Next, 10% of what the investor pays for the livestock comes directly off his taxes. Also, through embryo transplants, each cow becomes a factory for calves, which...
Alas, these minor revelations-and two marvelously vigorous films from old masters, Italy's Ermanno Olmi (Camminacammina) and Poland's Andrzej Wajda (Danton)-were not enough to keep businessmen and journalists from grousing, as they lolled for a fortnight in one of the world's lushest garden spots. Nor will a disappointing festival keep these congenital optimists from returning next year to this bunker on the Côte d'Azur. - By Richard Corliss
