...funeral arrangements cost about $2,000 to $3,000. There are two main expenses: a sealed metal coffin that meets airline standards and freight costs of about $700. "It would be cheaper to cremate them, but some older priests won't do a Mass if there is a cremation," Tobon says. He raises the money through appeals on two local radio stations. "Sometimes people will know the family or the village and send a donation. There is never enough." The money goes straight to the funeral home. He still owes for the last 15 funerals...
...next few months, however, Steve Jobs' main job will be Apple. The Microsoft Death Star may be rotating in friendly orbit, but Jobs must still find a new leader for the Mac troops. Then he can resume being a Hollywood mogul and a model dad, right? Even after this amazing week, Jobs insists he will pass the diskette to a new generation and then stand aside to let it run the program.

But Leonard, who praises the young auteur's understanding of criminals and casually realistic dialogue, says he told him, "You're the filmmaker--use what you want...
...show is clearly the product of two minds that have clocked a fair number of hours watching the work of Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-head) and Matt Groening (The Simpsons). The four main characters--Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny--have grating voices and feeble minds and show no aversion to scatological humor. The title, South Park, refers to the setting, a small hamlet where teachers are dolts, the mayor's first move in times of crisis is to call her personal stylist, and the school cook, in the show's wittiest turn, often breaks into imitation Barry White songs...
