Disney, which paid Katzenberg $100 million in salary, stock options and bonuses over a decade at the company, has already conceded much of the case. In a November 1997 agreement that is still partly secret, the company admitted it owed Katzenberg more bonus money, with the figure to be decided by a private judge. Sources tell TIME that Disney subsequently cut two checks totaling $117 million. Katzenberg, however, is still pushing for upwards of $200 million more on everything from Disney's online business to T shirts, saying it is "an annuity for my children."

...what is known in the talk-show business as an ambush. The Jenny Jones Show brought Jonathan Schmitz on the air in 1995 to be surprised by a "secret crush." When the crush turned out to be a man, Scott Amedure, an unstable Schmitz three days later shot his onetime friend to death.

"The DF-31 ICBM will give China a major strike capability that will...
...Whatever the merits of the measure," says TIME White House correspondent Jay Branegan, "Republicans have handed the Democrats a great issue in the wake of Littleton." Though it?s no secret that both parties regularly cater to the special interest groups that back their elections, says Branegan, "Senator Larry Craig?s admission that the NRA had 'grudgingly' accepted the latest Republican gun-show measure was an amazing statement." It opens him up, and the Republican party as well, to questions as to whom they are working for. The Democrats intend to keep this matter alive as long as they...
