Thomas Wartmann deserves high marks as well. As a 25-year employee of PepsiCo, he had heard about the company's generous scholarship programs and made a mental note to have Christopher apply for one when the time came. Christopher did apply and "let out a whooping scream" when he won the maximum amount: $8,000. The University of Dayton kicked in $7,500 in scholarship and grant aid (money that won't have to be paid back), leaving the Wartmanns with a bill of just $5,500, which they plan to pay in 10 monthly installments of $550 each...
...Ming Judith Leung, valedictorian of the class of '98 at Nova High School in Davie, Fla. Leung, a poster child for the kind of diversity and achievement sought by colleges, earned a 4.0 GPA, taking 14 advanced-placement classes, and was accepted at Harvard, Yale and Stanford, with a generous aid package from each.

...Generous almost to a fault, this movie offers us not one but two Zorros. There's an aging one, Don Diego (played with impeccable elegance by Anthony Hopkins), making a comeback after suffering a long imprisonment, to fight a resurgence of tyranny in old, Spanish-controlled California. In the process he recruits a young, nimbler apprentice, Alejandro (portrayed by Antonio Banderas), who's not afraid of acting a little dumb until his mentor smartens him up, cools his ardent blood and teaches him the skills that make him worthy of wearing the black mask of the gallant outlaw...
...many ways, I now hold my mama at emotional gun point. There is no way she can stop me from doing those things that make the neighbors talk; to avoid losing a daughter, she struggles to understand me. My mama is a brave and generous woman. To know it, you'd have to be trying difficult and unappreciative for 20 years--you'd have...
