...Talent helps. But another reason the film succeeds is that Director Hill allows the kids to be madly romantic?they are 13, it's the right age?without sentimentalizing them.

Daniel and a buddy persuade Lauren to see a porno flick. She watches for a few minutes, then walks out, feeling sick. Daniel follows, ashamed of himself, trying to comfort her.

But only 50 leaders were sought, not because of a diminished pool of talent but because many of the previous 200 would once again qualify?they still have not reached...
...Philippe de Montebello, 43, was born into an artistic Parisian family. When his family moved to the U.S., de Montebello studied art history at Harvard and took up painting. "You have talent but not genius," his father told him. So in 1963, de Montebello joined the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a curatorial assistant. He was tapped for the directorship of Houston's Museum of Fine Arts in 1969, and in four years
