...studio's first two computer-generated hits, 1995's Toy Story and last year's A Bug's Life, are already among the Top 5-grossing animated films of all time. Monsters, Inc., its fourth feature-length film, is set for 2001. "Pixar is about movies with heart, humor, action--and visuals like you've never seen before," says director John Lasseter, the company's resident creative genius...

"My transformation should not be traumatic for students," she says. "But it is a tragic lesson if I am burned at the stake for who I really am." Now teachers are pitted against administrators, and children against parents. Some colleagues pooled to buy Rivers a $50 gift certificate from a dress shop, but others are "tired of the Dana Rivers Show," says art teacher Marc Allaman.
