...class of '84. Now as Perry carries on his football career with the Chicago Bears, Thacker is branching out to try the movies. In Wildcats, Goldie Hawn, 40, plays a Chicago high school football coach stuck with the roughest athletes in the city. To help whip her charges into shape, she recruits a shy, oversize over achiever and A student, played by Thacker.

But Hart is also the only candidate bearing scars from the last race. Organized labor, a powerful force in the party, has not forgiven his attacks on "special interests" backing his ultimately successful rival for the presidential nomination, Walter...
Bitter memories shape the way Li Shasha, one the nation's youngest best-selling authors, writes about the contradictions of modern China. Li's father left his village in Hunan province to toil in the southern factories that power the nation's export-led growth. When Li was 13, his father came to the school where he boarded.
