...paper remains essentially specialized, and does not convey a full sense of the nation or the world. The Journal's foreign coverage is surprisingly skimpy for all those foreign bureaus. Some journalists say that it lumbers after news, instead of sprinting. "Considering the size of the staff," says Barren's Managing Editor Alan Abelson, "they should have more scoops, discover more stories." The paper also sometimes runs lightly edited corporate press releases on its inside pages. Some close readers detect a drop-off in the quality of its trademark front-page features.

Perhaps Parker wants the movie's style to reinforce its content; maybe he wishes to convey that the road to fame is riven with unpredictability and adversity. Most viewers, however, realize that; and this choppy, self-indulgent work fails even as an adolescent Chorus Line.

Maryland women began offering their own service, but with more personnel and at less cost-25? per tuck-in. Asked their ad in the campus paper: "When was the last time you had five girls tuck you into bed?" William L. Thomas, Maryland's vice chancellor for student affairs, endorses the trend. "It's a very gentle custom," he says. When the women heard Thomas wistfully admit he had never been tucked...
