...executive for the new cable network In Your Face TV--"it's like MTV, but with an edge"--is about to reveal to his fellow executives a video documentary made by aspiring young filmmaker Leleina (Winona Ryder). Leleina's documentary is about herself and her three friends Troy, Vicki, and Sammy, who all have just graduated from college and are now trying to make it in the real world.

"I'm 35, and that's young enough to make a career change," says...
...Vicki Goetze, a 20-year-old phenom on the LPGA tour, is being touted as the next great star. But you know what? She'll never make it. Oh, she can play, but an LPGA golfer needs exposure to become famous, and Goetze is a fountain of cliches so mundane people throw up their hands in disgust. Someday, Goetze will figure it out. She'll start showing some emotion and humor, and one year after that she'll be a household name. Writers are always happy to interview an interesting person...
