...fully anticipate the wrath of several generations of possessive children when we declare that the new Disney film of James and the Giant Peach is an improvement on Roald Dahl's 1961 backyard fantasy.

...share to $14.50 a share amid the frenzy of the IPO market when the Aliso Viejo, California, maker of software for modems went public last Sept. 18. Since then the stock has cooled to about $7.25 a share, leaving founders William and Rhonda Smith to face the wrath of shareholders who sued the company in December over the slump in price.
