...colony which (like any good super-organism) demands subservience if it is to survive. Depressed by his insignificance, Z follows his heart and breaks the rules to court the Princess Bala (Stone). Gump-style, Allen becomes a war hero and accidentally escapes with the princess, inciting the colony to rebellion by his example of disobedience. As it turns out, the insubordinance is well timed, since the Colony's other individualistic ant (voiced by Gene Hackman), has plans to work the colony to death in order to create a master race in its stead.

Calvin Klein immediately joined the rebellion, as did Donna Karan and several others. It's not unusual for Lang to be copied. He's credited with bringing us the stretchy T, rubber dresses and a whole slew of offbeat new materials. For this fall, tired of being the fabric frontiersman, he worked instead with layering...
...regional coalition that swept Laurent Kabila to power now appears badly divided over his future -- and that division may bring protracted turmoil in the long-suffering Congo. While Rwanda and Uganda are squarely behind the rebellion to oust Kabila, the guerrilla-turned-president appears to still have the active backing of Angola, Congo's southwestern neighbor and perhaps the region's leading military power...
