...very trendy anymore. If the makers decide to spawn more sequels, I have no doubt that Austin Powers will stray further and further from the original concept and more towards the sight and shock gags inundating movie theaters (introducing Fat Bastard as exhibit A). Unless they can reinvent Austin or give him a sidekick with the same satiric verve, New Line might just have to launch a Dr. Evil franchise. After all, he's not only getting all the good lines, but he's getting all the screen time...
Dreamcast represents Sega's bid to reinvent itself. And analysts think it has a good shot. The machine is at least 10 times as powerful as its rivals and already has 18 new games available. Equally important, Sega introduced it with savvy marketing. That is a turnaround for a company that in 1989 was No. 1 in the gaming business but has since been steadily slipping, barely hanging on to third place with only 1% market share. Sega botched its 1995 Saturn rollout by alienating software developers and retailers with poor support and imperious directives. Sony has dominated the industry...

No, Mr. Gore doesn't have that hot button policy which provokes a self-conscious grouping--of course, the real pros in now-departed classes almost certainly could have invented a clever rationale with an alacrity which defied Mr. Gore's apparent inoffensiveness, and brought a slew of letters, banners, and other accoutrements to bear soon after. After all, these were the same stalwarts who found problems with Gro Harlem Brundtland...
...late-'80s experiment of building cute little instant towns in places like Seaside, Fla., never really caught on: many of the communities were too far from major job centers. So now developers are chasing a new fashion. Rather than offer an escape from the suburbs, they're struggling to reinvent them by building cute little instant towns near major cities...
