The Washington Post recently reported a surge in summer camps catering to specialized interests, including journalism and politics.
Dear Mom and Dad,
How are you? Camp is O.K. so far. Here are the other boys in my cabin: Tony Langdon is neo-con, but everybody just calls him Stink Bomb because he doesn't like to take showers. Tommy Perez, a New Democrat, can throw a jackknife and make it stick in the wall. I share a bunk bed with Kenny Abrams. He's really nice. He brought up a pile of back issues of The Nation, and he lets me read them whenever I want. Our counselor, Brad, is pretty cool. Last night he gave us candy bars and let us stay up late and watch Alan Greenspan on "Nightline." I miss you. Write back soon!

And who isn't aware that Michael Ovitz reportedly earned $30 million last year as the principal owner of the Creative Artists Agency and is now likely to make hundreds of millions more as the president of Disney, the job to which he was named last week? The airwaves are flooded with shows revealing the machinations behind various movie deals. Newspapers across the country, as well as CNN, routinely report the 10 highest-grossing movies of the weekend.
