Still, a surprising number of subjects lend themselves well to video teaching. An amateur chef watching a cooking tape--like Wok Before You Run, with Chinese Chef Stephen Yan as host--can see, and not just read, what his concoction is supposed to look like. The World's Greatest Photography Course, presented by Photographer Lief Ericksenn, uses lucid narration and lots of visual examples to demonstrate, not just how to pick a proper f-stop or choose a lens, but subtler matters such as how to recognize a good picture and how to compose one. How to Watch Pro Football...
...success of Fonda's workout tape--along with sequels like her Prime Time Workout and Workout Challenge--has inspired a horde of other celebrities to try getting Americans in shape via video. In Debbie Reynolds' Do It Debbie's Way, an exercise class sprinkled with familiar faces (Florence Henderson, Teri Garr, Shelley Winters) bends and stretches to big-band music while Debbie cracks jokes and offers encouragement. Considerably more demanding is Raquel Welch's Total Beauty and Fitness. The 44-year-old star folds her body into positions that will leave most of her viewers in awe. The macho Armed...

The conviction that everyone had his price and that he could double it seems to have corrupted Hughes profoundly. His money cut him off from emotional commerce, the give and take of feelings that establishes true...
...amassed 17 volumes of evidence, 79 exhibits, 17 videocassettes and 13 tape recordings. But after 22 days of testimony, State Prosecutor Leszek Pietrasinski was no closer to providing the answer to the question that troubles many Poles about the trial in the Torun courtroom: Who really ordered Father Jerzy Popieluszko's death? The trial entered its final days last week as Pietrasinski gave his summation in the trial of the four secret-police officers charged in the abduction and murder of Popieluszko. The bespectacled prosecutor unleashed an almost theatrical fury upon the confessed leader of the priest's killers, former...
