...Sierra Club), has a budget of just $350,000 for 150 college chapters. There were once as many as 200 left-leaning Public Interest Research Groups at U.S. universities, but today only about half that number exist. Last school year, the 38-year-old National Organization for Women spent twice the amount it usually does on campus in order to publicize April's feminist march on Washington, but the total, $500,000, was just 4% of Young America's budget...

Despite all those Girls Gone Wild (and now Guys Gone Wild) videos, young Americans are repositioning themselves not only on political but also on cultural matters. More than one-fifth of last year's freshmen said they never party, twice the percentage of 1987. More kids today say they want a military career, and more hope to be "very well off."

...whom she plays these days. Her characters went from frail to ferocious. In the first 15 of her 44 films, those made before she turned 40, Streep (who turns 57 this month) lost or gave up at least seven children, five husbands, one fiance, her life twice and her mind once. Since then, while her characters have had some rotten luck (cancer, house burned down by son), Streep has mostly played people taking charge of their own destiny, if not actual ballbusters. She has shot rapids, taught violin and had people murdered...
