...Weld is brazen, then Weicker and Tennessee's Ned McWherter, who is also trying to institute a state income tax, may be courting political folly. The only time a state income tax was enacted in Connecticut, in 1971, it provoked such an outcry that it was repealed within six weeks. Tennesseans dislike the tax so much that the state courts once declared it unconstitutional. Both Governors hope to soften the blow of the new levies by lowering sales taxes.

If there is a unifying concept behind Step by Step, it is one of forthright -- indeed, brazen -- commercial calculation, which is one thing that sets the Kids apart from the Ninja Turtles and the Simpsons, who fell into their fads and weren't made (or drawn) to order. "We created a niche," Scott says. "And we filled a void...
