...Slowly, and almost unconsciously, banal daily events take on a greater depth of meaning, because not only is Rosetta poor, she and her mother live in a near-animalistic state. Rosetta earns paltry sums of money by selling repatched clothes to a local second-hand shop, catches fish with a crude wire-and-bottle and can only ease the physical pain of abdominal cramps with a hair-dryer pressed against her belly. The alcoholic mother is reduced to exchanging oral sex for rent and electricity bills, and the two live in a dismal trailer park ironically named "Le Grand Canyon...
...wonder whether Pixar will ever split from Disney. God knows they'll have the money after Toy Story 2 finishes its run (the gross could potentially top out at $300 million). If they do go independent, expect an epic showdown. Unlike every other major studio that has recently built an in-house animation studio, Pixar has the goods to compete with the Mouseketeers.

All of that will inevitably provide fertile ground for speculation as to the killers' motive, but until they're caught - if they...
...best-educated nation is receiving failing marks. A federal panel reported Thursday that each of the six national education goals President Bush set in 1990 for the year 2000 will go unmet. Still, there was some noticeable improvement from kids at the youngest age. As it turns out, throwing money at the problem of fulfilling Bush's goal that kids enter kindergarten ready to learn really did work. Even as the level of federal funding devoted to public education stagnated during the past decade, the amount invested in early childhood education boomed. Head Start's budget alone grew nearly tenfold...
