...pockets. Many are suspicious of his decision to run for the Senate after scarcely eight months in the House and fear that he may grab at the presidency with the same restlessness. So far, Dannemeyer has refused to promise the usual endorsement of the winner. A month ago, Barney Klinger, a wealthy Republican industrialist who has entertained Nixon and Reagan in his house, held a fund raiser that made $100,000 -- for Feinstein. Says Klinger: "Michael fooled us once . . . He has no goal. She does, and she's about 10,000 times smarter than he is, but her goals...
...that wistful mini-epiphany occurred as I watched Andrew McCarthy and Rosalind Chao trying to play college students during one of the eight flashbacks in "The Joy Luck Club." They looked ancient. At least 35. Rosalind (of AfterM*A*S*H fame--she played Klinger's Korean wife) had age spots. And Andrew, Andrew just looked ravaged...
While the alligator's recovery has been "phenomenal," according to David Klinger of the FWS, it seems that the spotted feline may never have faced a catastrophe in the first place. Unlike its truly rare cousin the Himalayan snow leopard, the common leopard made the list, in the 1970s, largely for emotional reasons.

Alligator populations rebounded rapidly. Says Klinger: "All we had to do was stop the poachers, and the gators did the rest." In Alabama, for example, biologists reported a tenfold increase in alligators between the mid-1970s and the early '80s. By 1985 the FWS declared the animal no longer endangered in Louisiana, Florida and Texas, where 90% of the animals live, and last month it extended that decision to the seven other states where gators are found. "We've got more alligators than we know what to do with," exclaims Klinger, who says there may now be several million...
...following somewhat different approaches, spas are turning up in unlikely spots. A few cruise ships offer programs. The Golden Door runs a popular one aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2. And there are a growing number of so-called urban spas for time-pressed, cash-short city dwellers. Georgette Klinger's two-month-old Total Care Program in New York City features half-day and full-day schedules. At Le Pli, located by the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, Mass., weekend guests stay at the hotel, get a fitness evaluation, nutrition advice, massages, facials and body wraps. Kathleen Keady, 30, a field...
