Obviously, Katzenberg hopes that The Prince of Egypt will answer the latter question affirmatively. It is a wish intensified by the fact that he is in the midst of a contentious legal battle against Disney chairman Michael Eisner, the man who didn't think Katzenberg was good enough to be his second-in-command. Katzenberg claims he is owed 2% of the profit from every project he put into production during his 10 years at the company--an amount that could reach $250 million or more...
...Here's a question of the moment: Would you rather eat at one of French chef Alain Ducasse's pair of three-star restaurants or spend who knows how many hours preparing the spit-roasted lobster with caramelized salsify and almonds from his new cookbook, Ducasse: Flavors of France (Artisan; 288 pages; $50)? And would you rather dine at one of Jean-Georges Vongerichten's New York City food temples or make the apple confit from Jean-Georges: Cooking at Home with a Four-Star Chef (Broadway; 224 pages; $35)--a recipe that involves cutting 15 peeled Granny Smith apples...
...book's melodrama comes from Roberts' account of abuse by a father he describes as angry, violent and a killer.

Then he offers me a parable. If you go into the woods, he says, and you look for a new plot to farm, you have to put a marker down; otherwise you won't be able to find...
...question of whether silicone breast implants are dangerous is essentially a scientific one. Yet in more than a decade of claims and counter-claims, lawsuits by the thousand and cash settlements in the millions of dollars, actual science has played an almost insignificant role. Women who say they've been harmed insist there's a cause-and-effect relationship between leaky implants and major immune-system disorders; manufacturers swear their implants are safe. But even though the FDA finally ordered the devices off the market in 1992, neither side has offered much proof for its position...
