States that legalize the practice could become magnets for infertile couples from other states where commercial surrogacy is banned. And where the practice is prohibited entirely, say some, it will merely be driven underground. "There is so much infertility," observes Feminist Attorney Lynne Gold- Bikin. "Desperate people will resort to desperate methods...
...only in the matter of cherished stereotype that this serious-minded innkeeper's son comes up lacking. In public fancy, ski racers, and especially downhillers, are barbarians, berserkers, wearers of iron hats with cow horns sticking out of them. Pirmin, from a minor resort town near Saas-Fee (which is a minor resort near Zermatt), is the sort of nice young man your mother wants your sister to meet. He does not look as if he eats nails.

Founded by John Singer, an American-born TV repairman who spent his formative years in Nazi Germany, the family first ran afoul of the law when Singer pulled his children from school to shield them from the influence of drugs and racial integration. His continued defiance...
...deficit. Dukakis does not want to discuss new taxes, claims Chris Edley, his campaign-issues director, because he fears that they would draw attention from his IRS compliance scheme. Gore is equally vague. All he offers is platitudes and a modest grab bag of $16 billion in minor, last- resort taxes...
