...movie industry is on target to pocket a record-shattering $2.49 billion by the end of the season. This would top last year's $2.22 billion take, led by Sony's "Men in Black." The key to this summer's success is diversity, according to Robert Bucksbaum, an analyst at box office watchers Reel Source. "You saw a wide range of films that you normally don't see in the summer: 'There's Something About Mary,' a slapstick comedy; 'Saving Private Ryan,' an Oscar-contending drama; and 'The Truman Show,' a warm-hearted satire," Bucksbaum says. "Family films did better...

...matters, here is a giant who is also a man. After the Challenger disaster, the fissures in the space program began to show, and when the people at NASA started to put the program back together, they shifted its appeal from the heroism of individuals to scientific cleverness--without success. Only last year's Pathfinder probe to Mars revived some of the keen attention people gave the space effort in the early 1960s. However entertaining it was to watch the cute little robot strut its stuff, it would always be the person in space who enthralled the public heart...

...sure how it would be received. Buffett's success came with a devil's bargain: he would be a cartoonish entertainer, not an introspective balladeer. Among his better recent work is a musical based on Herman Wouk's Caribbean novel, Don't Stop the Carnival, but the show never made it to Broadway. And though his concerts deliver moments of beauty and power--a song called One Particular Harbor gets people dancing but with tears in their eyes--they also deliver mindless ditties like Cheeseburger in Paradise. "The set I'd like to do is all ballads," he says over...

...sure, the Wartmanns are lucky. PepsiCo sets aside more than $1.5 million to dole out to employees' kids each year. But this one family's success carries a lesson for every family, whether your child is 18 months or 18 years away from freshman year. In spite of the record-high sticker prices, now is actually a great time to be headed for the halls of higher learning--right on the heels of Chelsea Clinton. Since her dad, the President of the U.S., has already paid a year's worth of tuition at Stanford, one of a growing list...

...this great game as its keepers continue to try to destroy it. I do have one complaint. Your list of the leading Cy Young award winners for best pitcher showed Steve Carlton winning four of them with St. Louis. While Carlton started his career with the Cardinals, his greatest success came with the Philadelphia Phillies. I know because at times he was the only reason to watch the team. It may not seem like a lot, but I'm a Phillies fan, and we don't have much. Please don't take Lefty away now! JACK LYNCH Drexel Hill...
