Even so, publication is a triumph for scholars who have grown old waiting to see the material. Publisher Hershel Shanks of the Biblical Archaeology Society in Washington portrays his group as scholarly Robin Hoods. "This is a historic book," he says, that "broke the monopoly" on unpublished scrolls. But the authorized group is outraged.

The two megahits are from the two biggest stars: Costner's Robin Hood ($140 million so far) and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator 2: Judgment Day ($160 million). With City Slickers ($105 million), Billy Crystal has demonstrated that a comedian, savvily shaping projects to suit both him and a large audience, can share the spotlight with two cranky studs. But the season's major flop is Dying Young (a pitiful $32 million), from the former Miss Can't-Miss, Julia Roberts. "They said Julia Roberts could open any film," notes Martin Grove...
