Certainly that efficiency brings benefits. Some economists say if more of the benefits were quantified--if we could say how much more bang-per-buck you would get from Windows 95 than from dos 3.0, or from a new CD player than from an old, no-frills model--the official inflation rate would be lower and median wages would then look less stagnant, if far from vibrant. Another benefit of lean, efficient capitalism is jobs; the American unemployment rate is stunningly low by European standards--half the French and Italian rates...
...happens, a solution is available in the form of inspirational aids that have propelled the new fad for less stuff into a prospering self-help industry. It's called the Simplicity Business. Anybody can learn how to shed frustrations by sifting through a near torrent of books, CD-ROMS, audiotapes and newsletters, all of them exalting the simple life...
...show's theme song along with a selection of pop numbers heard at some point on the series. CDs for the hit Fox shows Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place feature such musicians as Vanessa Williams, Annie Lennox and the alternative-rock favorite Urge Overkill. A 1994 CD spun off from the sitcom Coach contains, incongruously enough, music by James Brown and Marvin Gaye. The sound track for the Fox drama New York Undercover, released last month, features Gladys Knight as well as popular hip-hop performer Mary J. Blige...

The NBC sitcom's theme song, I'll Be There for You--a hit single that received endless mtv airplay and launched the career of its performers, The Rembrandts--appears in two versions on the record. The rest of the collection showcases songs from such artists as the Pretenders, Hootie & the Blowfish, k.d. lang, R.E.M. and Lou Reed, all of whom will be heard on the show this season. Compiled in part by Friends executive producer Kevin Bright, a music buff with an 8,000-volume record collection, the CD reflects...
...sound tracks have had a mixed sales record. A 1985 Miami Vice album sold more than 4 million copies, and the 1992 CD for Beverly Hills, 90210 topped 500,000. But a 90210 sequel last year did poorly, as did a 1993 Melrose Place CD, despite the show's huge following. The Friends CD so far looks like one of the winners. The album debuted at No. 46 on the Billboard charts earlier this month, and in its first weeks, record stores were ordering new shipments faster than CDs from such hot acts as Green Day and Alanis Morrisette...
