Deng might have seemed an unlikely choice as Man of the Year for 1978. He had only recently been "rehabilitated" in one of the frequent purges of Mao's later years. But we recognized even then that as the chief architect of the so-called Four Modernizations, Deng was destined to play a key role in helping propel China into the modern world. A few weeks later, we were rewarded for our prescience with that first exclusive interview--a 30-minute audience that stretched into 80 minutes and formed the basis of another Deng cover story...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Rumors are growing that Deng Xiaoping, China's 92-year-old paramount leader and the architect of China's economic reforms may be dying -- or may already be dead.

It is Consumer's Edge, a software developer based in La Jolla, California, that hopes to earn a slice of the online commerce pie by offering what CEO Steve Tomlin calls "deep interviews"--extensive Q&As that match consumers with pretty much any product known to the free market...
This juxtaposition--what should be done set against the difficulty of actually doing it--underscores the comic principle that animates Hecht's first collection of fiction. Her narrator ought to be happy, or at least fulfilled. She and her architect husband have an apartment in Manhattan, a house in East Hampton and a summer rental on Nantucket. She can afford a small army of expensive people--psychiatrists, opticians, periodontists, endodontists, exercise trainers, floor renovators--to minister to her and her possessions' needs. Yet in spite of all this--or perhaps because of it--she is a psychological wreck...
