LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
hile "Gladiator" is the kind of self-serious middlebrow audience-stroker that is rewarded come Oscar time, "Mission: Impossible 2" is actually both superior entertainment and superior art.
Stewart Stern haunted the Los Angeles Juvenile Hall to listen to testimony from troubled kids and read case histories until he found the characters who would populate the troubled youth classic "Rebel Without a Cause."
