...ironic that AT&T should wear the black hat. In its history, AT&T and the telephone Bells were as family friendly and progressive as the New Deal. Telephone families often ran three generations deep. You couldn't blame them for howling; they knew a good thing was ending. Even today AT&T offers a menu of programs that would make any worker's wish list, such as child- and elder-care resource referral services, leaves of absence for parents of newborns and the newly adopted, as well as time off for family care...

...PREFONTAINE, far left, who died in a 1975 car crash at age 24. Disney, which is spending about $7 million, had the edge initially, shooting crowd scenes last year. But script rewrites slowed the pace. Warner, with $25 million budgeted, has surged ahead, reserving the college track where Prefontaine ran. Filming could begin in June. Both sides had casting setbacks. Warner wanted Tom Cruise but got BILLY CRUDUP, left. Disney had eyes for Brad Pitt but got JARED LETO, right...
