...little attention to the decline of the public schools onto an easy target. Yes, I'm sad to find out that teachers are easy targets. Everyone's been to school, and many of us might not have liked some of the teachers we met there. On the other hand, none of us would be where we are (wherever that may be, speaking on Beacon Hill, learning in Harvard Square or teaching at Cambridge Rindge and Latin) without the teachers who spent time helping us to learn...
...vacation destinations like Las Vegas. Now the company is bringing scaled-down versions to smaller cities, betting that even a 55-ft. version will shake 'em up in such places as Tulsa, Okla., and Fresno, Calif. "The IMAX format is the best theater presentation in the world, bar none," raves Bruce Olson, president of Marcus Theatres, which has signed on to build two 3-D theaters, in Columbus, Ohio, and Addison, Illinois. Since 1997, IMAX has signed deals for 73 new theater systems from Canada to New Zealand. By year's end, 60 IMAX theaters with 3-D capability will...
Still, the largely white punk athletes have an attitude that is as infectious as it is intimidating. There is none of Michael Jordan's focused intensity.

For years, China's leaders turned a deaf ear, insisting that such issues as freedom of expression, due process, the imprisonment of dissidents, prison labor and religious tolerance were none of Washington's business. "We were talking to a wall," says a senior official. "Now we can, and we do, talk seriously about these matters...
Although there were stars, food and music aplenty at the premiere of The Farm: Angola, USA, something was missing: none of the featured players were able to attend. Incarceration will do that to you. But the celebs who saw the film, shot entirely in America's largest prison (situated on a former slave plantation in Louisiana), gushed with praise. "Where can I get a subscription to the Angolite?" asked Anne Heche about the prison's magazine. Warden BURL CAIN, left, gave the film crew unprecedented access to all areas of his Big House, and the film's director, Jonathan Stack...
