...Land of Hopes and Dreams: "Well I will provide for you and I will stand by your side/You'll need a good companion darlin' for this part of the ride." Just before leaving for Europe, the band premiered the song in Asbury Park. "Tell all your friends that this summer there's going to be a big train coming down the track," Springsteen promised. For millions of U.S. fans, it's time again to get on board...
...urban legend of teen porn can be found in this all-raunch, no-style sex comedy. Writer Adam Herz and the hot producer-director team of Chris and Paul Weitz occasionally hint that a teenager's most poignant groping is for his elusive identity. But don't expect this summer movie to have the huffing charm of Austin Powers or the tuneful brass of South Park.

...citizen; in New York City. In the 1930s, Sidney reigned as one of Paramount's top actresses, starring in several of the era's melodramas-with-a-message.

In the mid-1990s the local county council earned $1 million a month for schools and hospitals from gate receipts, but at a price. "If you have 20 to 30 four-wheel drives in the park, is that ecotourism?" asks Kanani...
Consider the contrast between two suburbs of St. Louis. In upscale Clayton, Mo., the after-school menu is crowded with leagues and summer-camp activities ranging from baseball and martial arts to tennis and volleyball. But travel 15 minutes northwest to Clayton's working-class neighbor, the town of Jennings. There the recreation department is understaffed, lacks a gymnasium and relies largely on local public schools and other facilities, creating transportation problems that keep many kids sidelined. "There are some definite barriers," says Cindy Tharp, director of recreation in Jennings. "But if parents want to get their child involved, they...
