...crowded police-court docket, said Mark Twain, is the surest sign that trade is brisk and money plenty. The current season would seem to bear him out, with a slight twist. There is brisk betting and plentiful money riding on a schedule that is up to its antenna in crooks and crime, cops and private eyes, crusading attorneys and special investigators. In all, there are 29 crime shows on the network schedules, accounting for roughly 21 of the 63 prime-time hours each week... Attempts to vary that formula have stretched as far as TV writers' imaginations can fetch...
...Depots are supposed to become more user friendly, especially for women, who perform a growing proportion of home-improvement jobs and have been instrumental in Lowe's rapid growth. But the best-run indies should continue to stay ahead of the competition if they're mindful of the old bear joke: Two guys are backpacking and notice a bear approaching.

...demons" are actually seventeen vignettes from the author's life, mostly from her childhood. Treating the book as something of a Zen exercise, Barry has claimed that, with no determined direction, each piece began as a word or phrase on a notecard. The somewhat random subjects of each story bear this out: Dancing, Hate, San Francisco, Dogs, Girlness, etc. "Dancing," for instance, tells of Barry's childhood enthusiasm for hula dancing. With fantastic powers of memory (or perhaps imagination) Barry recreates the near-hallucinatory, intensely-observed world of childhood. The hula teacher is a "middle-aged white lady...
