A Texas factory worker, wearing a birthday corsage of dollars, even looks as if she knows that she will end up on a museum wall as an emblem for the empty promises of the working life. In case we miss the point, Avedon throws in three bloody head shots of slaughtered % steers and sheep--a few notes...
...Toys-R-Us, the nationwide toy chain, is now selling the Geoffrey Alphabet Video, which features National Geographic animal footage and original songs by Elizabeth Swados. Preschoolers can exercise and play along with Gymboree, an interactive cassette from Scholastic-Lorimar Home Video. Harried mothers can enliven a youngster's birthday celebration with Rainbow Brite's It's Your Birthday Party, a 45-minute tape that enlists partygoers in various games and activities...
