Fenway, which dates back to 1912, will be the next to fall, if only because Boston sees another Camden Yards knockoff as a fait accompli. There are a few holdouts, most notably Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, but he's up against no less a personage than Ted Williams, who says, "I would not be sentimental about moving into a new ball park." And you won't find any Fenway supporters on the current Red Sox, either. "Blow it up," slugger Mo Vaughn said one day last year. "Blow the damned place up." The Red Sox may as well...
Frustration over Dole's inability to formulate themes has boiled over into the public. Not long after the conservative Weekly Standard predicted a Dole defeat, former Education Secretary William Bennett complained in a speech that "there's very little enthusiasm about Bob Dole." Conservative columnist Robert Novak accused Dole's campaign of "disorganization, lack of discipline and failure to articulate a coherent message."

...Hollywood romantic comedy. (One false move and he may be making From Dusk to Dawn vampire sequels from here to eternity.) One Fine Day, due out later this year, pairs the roguishly charming newcomer with that gleaming icon of glamour MICHELLE PFEIFFER.

Bombeck began writing her column in 1965 and three years later it was nationally syndicated, appearing twice a week in over 700 newspapers. She was a correspondent on ABC's "Good Morning America" for 11 years and starred in the brief sitcom "Maggie" which lasted for only eight episodes. Bombeck was also the author of several books including "The Grass Is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank...
JACK E. WHITE, a TIME national correspondent and columnist, first met Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown about 20 years ago, when Brown was working for the National Urban League. "He was very smooth and very, very savvy," says White. "You knew even then he was going to end up someplace important." The two stayed in touch. "I last saw him at a Christmas party," he says. "He talked to my wife, and he gave her the impression that we were a lot tighter than we were. He made people feel he valued their friendship." White had the sad task...
