...points though, one might wonder where the emotional supernovas are in from the choirgirl hotel. Boys for Pele had the mesmerizing "Caught a Lite Sneeze;" Under the Pink contained the scandalous "God;" and of course, Little Earthquakes remains a virtual apocalypse of emotion, despite the recent trends of radio stations to overplay "Silent All These Years." Is Tori Amos finally starting to make peace with the demons that drove her to create painfully honest pieces such as Earthquake's "Me and a Gun," which was based on her experience with rape? If she is, are her musical talents strong enough...
Growing up in Washington state during the '70s, Courtney Love didn't care much for the women's-movement rallies her mother attended. "I'd wonder why nobody on these marches was wearing heels," she has said. But with its days of flat shoes and fiery protest behind it, feminism is clearly more attractive to Love now. Earlier this year, the angry rocker turned Versace model and movie star showed up at the Ms. Foundation's 25th-anniversary bash at Caroline's Comedy Club in New York City.

The awards recognize products and research that assimilate blind people into the workplace, because while visually impaired people can follow a movie, a big percentage of them can't find a job. "I don't get too surprised by anything," says Wonder of the inventions, "but we did see some good things." One of the products is a mouse...
Nowhere is the battle to balance celebrity and right thinking more obvious than in the magazine industry. Among girls ages 12 to 19, Teen Research Unlimited found that 84% read magazines in 1997, so it's no wonder that the business of informing their lives, chronicling their troubles and defining their desires has become fiercely competitive. American Girl, Teen Beat and Tiger Beat have the younger age bracket sewn up. The median age of a Tiger Beat reader is 13, but girls as young as eight are snatching up the magazine. "Our readership is getting younger," says Louise Barile, editor...
