The Dinner Game
Rated PG-13
Pierre (Thierry Lhmerette) is a shallow Parisian publisher trying to find a dinner guest for a contest among his friends to find the biggest "idiot" -- so they can laugh at him.

Hugh Grant is a British auctioneer who belatedly discovers that his fiancee's family is in the mob. James Caan plays his prospective father-in-law.

Teaching Mrs. Tingle
Rated PG-13

Universal Soldier

Brave new beauty

In honor of the millennium, New Moon Magazine: The Magazine for Girls and Their Dreams hopes to shatter the idea that beauty is a matter of appearance, celebrity or wealth.

In its May/June 2000 issue the magazine will profile 25 Beautiful Girls, ages 8 to 14, who have demonstrated beauty of mind, spirit, strength and caring. To nominate a girl who has pursued her dream; overcome difficulties; fought injustice; stood up for her beliefs; created something new; or in some way shown this inner beauty, send a 300 word essay about why she is beautiful to girl@newmoon.org or to Beautiful Girls, New Moon Publishing, P.O. Box 3620, Duluth, MN, 55803-3620. The deadline for nominations is Nov. 1.

New Moon is an award-winning bimonthly magazine edited by and for girls 8 to 14.


Scoops, which runs Tuesday in Today, provides information on scholarships and opportunities for students and young adults. Send listings to: The Scoops, P.O. Box 3080, Honolulu 96802
