...trend has been building for a few years, since Scream (1996) indicated that cheesy teenpix could cross the $100 million hurdle. Last summer's American Pie and The Blair Witch Project accelerated the no-star momentum. The town's easiest profits come from cheap movies with low aspirations and performers who look as if they'd just been kidnapped from the junior prom. Meanwhile, a platinum-card holder like Jim Carrey stumbles slightly with Me, Myself & Irene ($89 million) and pratfalls with Man on the Moon ($35 million). Last August, Bruce Willis rode a big winner in The Sixth Sense...
...Lewinsky probe was open and might result in an indictment of Clinton after he leaves office in January 2001. Ray hired six new prosecutors and other lawyers and spent $3.5 million over the past six months. Clinton, in turn, has grown more strident, decrying the investigation as a political witch hunt.

And even in the Web's grownup days of corporate sites and e-commerce, a pair of scrappy newcomers is continuing...
While your piece on the "Harry Potter" books touches on its good points, you do not talk about its bad points. From reviews I have read, Harry is a warlock, or male witch. In this it is in direct conflict with Christianity. I do not begrudge you the fact that you like it, and want to read it, but you should point out the fact that it is in conflict with Church beliefs. Perhaps TIME could look into the fact that it is either required reading in some schools, or is read to the students by faculty. If a faculty...
