...Since then, the network has tumbled from first place to fourth in the ratings, and it has started looking outside for help. Earlier this month, it made a production deal with HBO (owned by TIME's parent company, AOL Time Warner). The Monk "experiment," says ABC Entertainment president Susan Lyne, provides ABC with only slightly used programming on the cheap and benefits Disney, ABC's parent, which produces Monk. "Potentially," she says, "this is a great way of doing business." Monk's ABC debut drew more than 7 million viewers--pretty good for a summer rerun and huge by cable...
Experts on bicultural adoptions have learned such lessons from years of experience. Susan Soon-keum Cox, 50, who works for Holt International, the oldest overseas-adoption agency in the U.S. and the organization that arranged her own adoption from South Korea in 1956, learned them firsthand.

"Since most of the media treat older women as if they don't exist, I was amazed and heartened to find a vibrant, beautiful 60-year-old on your cover," wrote a California woman. "I'm framing this dazzling picture as something to live up to as I near Pierres' age." But another Golden State sister was less impressed, declaring that "Pierres has obviously overdosed on Miami sunshine." A Minnesotan agreed. "Pierres needs to wear sunscreen...
...melt-your-mouth taste. Hailing mostly from Mexico, these spicy treats contain sugar, of course, countered by salt, chili, pepper or tamarind. Thank the nation's growing Hispanic population for the intro. Now these sweets are being munched by the same kids who pucker up for sour candies. Says Susan Smith of the National Confectioners Association: "Children are the innovators here. They like intense, unusual flavors--anything parents don't like." Chili-flavored M&M's, anyone...
