...courses. Started by Governors from 18 Western states and encompassing the state universities in those areas, W.G.U. will initially offer continuing-education courses and associate degrees, says Jeff Edwards, marketing director for the school. There will be a con- centration on information technology courses, although at press time the catalog was still under development. Courses will be offered via the Web and satellite TV. Students from all over the world will be able to enroll in programs, which will cost anywhere from $300 to $700 each.

...even as Spiegel has jumped into the electronic world, other giant retailers have not. Sears, for instance, is taking a more cautious approach. Though it put a catalog of Craftsman tools online last fall, it isn't rushing to build a webstore. "We think it has to be a profitable channel for plans to add any new merchandise for sale," says Paula Davis, a spokesperson for the retailer. But is Sears missing an opportunity?

Weir, for his part, was eager to play the old Dead songs again but reluctant to tour under the Grateful Dead name. Says Weir: "Without Pigpen [keyboardist Ron McKernan, a band member who died in 1973], without Jerry, this band has taken a few too many hits to be called...
...catalog is somewhat hyperbolic--at one point Schimmel actually manages to compare a sculpture of eight naked effigies of Ray sprawling around in a masturbatory group grope to Rodin's Burghers of Calais--but Ray comes out of this show looking clever and sometimes more than that. His sculpture Fall '91, 1992, is a figure of a woman, 8 ft. high, in a red suit, done with slightly more detail and verisimilitude than a window dummy but with much less than complete lifelikeness. Its effect is to wrench your sense of scale out of kilter: far away, with no real...
