...people, not for corporations," Jobs says. "The world doesn't need another Dell or Compaq." He swiftly slashed back to four product lines--a laptop and desktop for consumers, and a laptop and desktop for professional users--ordered his design team to make Macs look hot again, and set about unclogging the foundering company's executive arteries by replacing, according to Apple board member and former DuPont chairman Edgar Woolard Jr., "about 75% of the management team...
...studio's first two computer-generated hits, 1995's Toy Story and last year's A Bug's Life, are already among the Top 5-grossing animated films of all time. Monsters, Inc., its fourth feature-length film, is set for 2001.

In Swinging, Fragonard's 1767 painting of an aristocratic young lady (Stephanie Michels) frolicking in a forest glade becomes a real-life menage a trois even kinkier than it looks. Did You Move?, set in an Italian restaurant in Queens circa 1954, is a bittersweet vignette about an unhappy housewife (Karen Ziemba) who takes refuge in increasingly wild fantasies of life as a ballerina. Contact, the finale, shows what happens when a despondent advertising man (Boyd Gaines) botches a suicide attempt, wanders into a swing...
