...federal siege that ended in fire and death on April 19, 1993, exactly two years before the Oklahoma City bombing. "It was very poorly handled," he says. Was it Waco that set him off on a path through Arizona and on to Kansas, where he allegedly rented the Ryder truck that carried the bomb, and then to Oklahoma City, where eyewitnesses saw him on the morning of the explosion? Will his trial, sometime in 1996, exonerate him? And if not, will it somehow make comprehensible the mind behind that blank, ordinary face; a mind that led a man to slaughter...
...Stars are becoming their own producers--not just in vanity arrangements with the studios but with a welcome assertiveness that gets things done. "Winona Ryder, Jodie Foster, Sharon Stone, Michelle Pfeiffer, Demi Moore, Meg Ryan and some others are not only stars," says Joan Hyler, president of the 13,000-member group Women in Film.

Ryder, Bullock and Julia Roberts all seem to be auditioning for the role of America's Niece, and as a result their films come off a bit prim. "Hollywood is in a postfeminist era," says Sharon Stone, one of the few current grownup actresses with that old movie-star...
That's pretty much the message of How to Make an American Quilt, as received by Finn (Winona Ryder), a graduate student who spends a small-town summer with her grandmother and aunt (Ellen Burstyn and Anne Bancroft), working on her thesis and getting her head together. As things work out, she seems to devote most of her time to gathering instructive reminiscences from them and the rest of the ladies in their quilting bee. They are neither so genteel nor stridently feminist as you might fear...
