Both parents speak of Jim's sense of humor, and a creative bent that helps him escape. He likes to sketch characters from computer games and has a particular fondness for Lara Croft, Tomb Raider. His mother was surprised--and pleased--to learn his unit is called the Tomb Raiders. "That seems so appropriate for him," she says. Jim, who wants to become a journalist, has sketched characters and fantasy figures since childhood. He's good enough that his training unit at boot camp had him design a bulldog logo for their T shirts. Jocelyn knows he's running...
...Dean is the nominee, Republicans will inevitably portray him as a tax-raising, soft-on-terror liberal with a chip on his shoulder and no substantial alternatives to what Bush is doing. Dean intends to help remedy his where's-the-beef problem and sketch out his vision for the country with two major speeches this week. In a foreign-policy address on Monday in Los Angeles, he will call for "a new global alliance to defeat terror" and advocate a tenfold increase in funds spent on finding and eliminating unguarded nuclear, chemical and biological materials left over from...
...figure out whether it still wanted to exist. Collingwood spent a year tending his garden, while Schlesinger turned to a lucrative career producing albums and writing songs for movies and television. (Schlesinger got an Oscar nomination for the song That Thing You Do. He also writes occasional sketch music for Saturday Night Live.)

Take a cast of edgy comics and stars-to-be--Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, Bob Odenkirk, Andy Dick and others--give them cameras and a network budget, and what do you get? The lowest-rated show of the 1992-93 TV season--and a classic of sketch comedy. The Ben Stiller Show was an attempt to reclaim Saturday Night Live's creaky format for the kids. But it reflected a Gen X ambivalence about youth culture as a marketing concept, as in "The Grungies," a sketch about a Seattle grunge band modeled on the prefab '60s act the Monkees...
Pamela Lipson can be forgiven for sounding a bit like the announcer in that classic comedy sketch who praises a new miracle foam: Shimmer is a floor wax! And a dessert topping! Get Lipson going, and the 36-year-old co-founder and president of Imagen will gush about how her product can distinguish faces in a crowd, recommend makeup, diagnose diseases and spot imperfections on a circuit board. What Lipson's six-year-old company--a spin-off of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.)--really does is make software that can find subtle similarities and differences in images...
