Looks as if Pokemon fever doesn't stop at any one place. In Korea a company that produces pastry snacks made a new product that includes character stickers from the Pokemon series. Kids here are very interested in collecting all 151 stickers--actually, obsessed is the word for it. I have seen so many uneaten pastries thrown away because youngsters buy the product just to get the sticker inside. Money and food are being wasted, and yet children aren't aware that they are doing anything wrong. HYUN JEE KIM, AGE 17 Seoul...

Smith was able to make his movie freely, but if the protesters had had their way, he couldn't show it. To twist the famous bumper-sticker phrase, their karma ran over his Dogma...
...that is behind a growing move among young Americans to seek their college degrees in Canada, England and Ireland, where the education is first rate and, since English is spoken, understandable. Now, with the cost of an Ivy League education well past the $30,000-a-year mark, the sticker prices abroad are more attractive than ever. An American college student in Canada might spend, on average, U.S.$10,000 for tuition and living expenses; in England, $17,000; and in Ireland, around $14,000. In the past several years, between 20% and 60% more U.S. students have been attending...
