...either. In Denton, Texas, Karen, a mother of two, formed a network to share such experiences as handling the questions her children got at school about why they do not have a dad. This spring near Tama, Iowa, the Iowa Conference of the United Church for Christ will launch Rainbow Family Camp, a weekend retreat for gay families. And this past June saw the debut of the glossy bimonthly And Baby, a magazine for gay and lesbian parents. Many of its articles are the usual child-rearing-magazine fare, but others, like "Finding a Gay-Friendly Physician," deal with situations...
Although a survivor might take comfort in a room full of people displaying ribbons, the minimal effort required in wearing one makes its statement hollow, and the lack of meaning has only been exacerbated by the omnipresence of AIDS and breast cancer and a rainbow of other ribbons in the past decade...

His re-placement is the title character, a fuchsia-coated rhino under whose skin lurks the politically correct, morally perfect but terminally nerdy Sheldon Mopes (Edward Norton).

Within the first few minutes of the film, Randolph, the host of a popular and lucrative children’s show, gets arrested by the Feds for bribery and loses his show, his friends, his company suite and eventually his sanity. M. Frank Stokes, played by Jon Stewart (Half Baked, Big Daddy), and Nora Wells, played by Catherine Keener (Being John Malkovich), are the television producers charged with finding a squeaky clean replacement for Randolph...
