The cover of the June 1997 issue of SPY magazine features photos of young
actresses Christina Ricci, Alicia Silverstone, and Liv Tyler accompanied by
the title "Jailbait 1997, the Sudden Thor-like Rise to Power of Sexy Little
Girls."

The article (page 42), begins "Lights of our lives, fire of our loins, just
kidding! They're the ... New Queens of Teen." A resume of what's to come
concludes with "Plus: Nabokov Wannabes Exposed!" There are sections called
"Vlad the Lepidopterist" and "The New Lolitocracy."

No comment.
