...Sproul Plaza, many students were at first horrified, then angry at Cash, and finally resigned to doing nothing. "I personally think he's a psycho, but I'm not sure there's legal ground," said a student. Rajan Bhattacharyya, 19, a sophomore, says he knew Cash in junior high as a "normal bratty kid" and defended his legal right to remain in school: "I don't think this is the first time someone has left a crime victim at a scene or something like that. They can't just kick him out because they don't like him." Masoud Seberi...
...gave Gus Van Sant the bloody right to remake Psycho? That's the question outraged cinephiles have been asking since the risk-loving director of Good Will Hunting said he would "re-create" Alfred Hitchcock's horror classic, using the original script updated with color camera work and hip young actors. But according to Van Sant, the master of suspense himself--or at least his spirit--seems to favor the project. "We had some ghostly messages before we started," Van Sant says, describing an impromptu seance with Hitchcock at a Los Angeles restaurant. "We just happened to be with...
...much easier to tell which of us were nuts and which weren't. Take, for example, a recent trip to a California desert to check out a scrubby campsite in the middle of the sand trap that stretches from San Diego to Phoenix.

Though he'll continue with novels and poetry, Alexie has staked out his new territory. "I love the way movies have more power than books," he says. "They continue the oral tradition, the way we all sit around the fire and listen to stories." And in them, the Indians...
...conservative psycho become the prickly teddy bear? Simple: Goldwater lost, and lost big--so big, in fact, that no one could seriously entertain the idea that he would ever become President or again be leader of his party. Declawed, he returned to Capitol Hill, where as one Senator among 100 he was free to make his caustic observations, to the general amusement of adversaries who not long before considered him deranged. Richard Nixon, he said, was "the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life." Bob Dole, Goldwater's leader in the Senate in the 1980s, "doesn...
