Hanson is making the biggest splash--the trio's MMMBop is currently the No. 2 song on Billboard's singles chart. The group is composed of three brothers: Zachary (drums), 13-year-old Taylor (keyboards) and 16-year-old Isaac (guitar). You'd be hard-pressed to find more appealing youngsters.

But Baitz has also expanded his play to give Isaac room to parade his obsessions. A familiar tragedy is made potent by the value of the gift withdrawn: Isaac, whose life is his mind, is losing it. Rifkin sees the majesty in Isaac's madness; he soars as he declines. In an era when films reduce the aged to comic cranks, Rifkin is heroic--the Lear of grumpy...
