...things are going, by the end of this year, many parents may be fully converted--and in fact dependent upon their schools' technological capabilities. At a recently wired school in Novi, Mich., the school webmaster was just a few hours late posting the lunch-menu calendar on the website, which was created with the help of Carson's Family Education Co. In that time, more than a dozen parents called him to request the information. "A year ago, it never would have been there," says Carson. And now parents are finding it's tough to get by without...
Farley's final months were a rapidly accelerating death spiral. During the making of the as yet unreleased Almost Heroes with Matthew Perry, says producer Denise Di Novi, Farley "had to attend A.A. meetings every day. He was always trying, but with Chris it wasn't that he had just one problem. It was a constant daily battle, fighting his demons." By the time Farley was providing the voice for the title character in Shrek, an animated film from DreamWorks, studio partner Jeffrey Katzenberg was taking no chances.

Just before dawn last Saturday, a convoy of three buses and an ambulance rumbled out of Bosnia and into the Serbian university town of Novi Sad.

"Winona is definitely not a casualty." She did struggle with a prescription drug that she took to relieve insomnia without knowing it was addictive. Says Ryder: "The doctor literally said, 'You can eat them like candy.' When I realized I needed...
...June 20, he claims, Serb militiamen herded 57 Muslim men, women and children into a basement and tossed in hand grenades, then joked that the screams of the dying sounded "just like a mosque." Ferid Omerovic, 37, is one of 9,000 from the Bosnian city of Bosanski Novi who reached a Croatian refugee camp in a U.N. convoy. "Life turned to hell two months ago," he says. "All Muslims were fired from their jobs, we had no money to buy food, and we couldn't get humanitarian help. Our houses were looted by Serbs -- our neighbors." He was detained...
