Need to lose a few pounds? Should you a) swear off ice cream and take up bicycling; b) eat raw spinach and tofu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or c) avoid sugar, carrots and potatoes? If you picked C, you've probably been reading The Zone (more than 1 million copies sold!), The Five-Day Miracle Diet (lose your cravings in just five days!) or Sugar Busters!, the book about the unlikely new diet craze (started in, of all places, New Orleans) that will claim first place on the New York Times best-seller list next Sunday...
However strong these women's performances, however, it's Sheedy--and who ever thought this sentence was possible?--who holds the picture together. The one-time co-star of The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire reads on paper as the recognizable name in a sea of unknowns, but so soundly yet unflamboyantly does she shatter her John Hughes image that she's no more recognizable than her colleagues.

Povich scored his first byline in 1924 and was soon a breakfast staple for Washington's sports addicts: President Nixon called his column "the only reason" to read the Post. But Povich's prose transcended the play-by-play; he championed such causes as integration, writing in 1946: "Four hundred and fifty-five years after Columbus eagerly discovered America, major league baseball reluctantly discovered the American Negro...
...first reading of Ulysses can thus be a baffling experience, although no book more generously rewards patience and fortitude. Stephen Dedalus reappears, still stuck in Dublin, dreaming of escape. Then we meet Leopold Bloom, or rather we meet his thoughts as he prepares breakfast for his wife Molly. (We experience her thoughts as she drifts off to sleep at the end of the book...
