...cause them to switch off their machines. Davidson & Associates' Math Blaster, a venerable series that has sold 1.6 million copies since 1983, freely borrows video-game techniques. The latest title, In Search of Spot, sends kids on a quest to rescue the Blasternaut's caterpillar-like space pal. The correct answer to a math problem puts the user closer to freeing Spot from the Trash Alien's ship. The Even More Incredible Machine, from Sierra On-Line, confronts users with more than 150 challenges to their ingenuity, ranging from launching a toy rocket to shooting a basketball through a hoop...

Only by holding both genders accountable for domestic violence can we begin to address the dangerous fantasies and expectations that underlie physical...

More and more Americans are willing to sell their ethics for cold cash, according to a recent MONEY magazine poll of 1,000 people. Almost a quarter of those polled said they wouldn't correct a waiter who undercharged them, a rise from 1987, when only 15 percent said they wouldn't speak up. As the stakes grow higher, the lying seems to get worse. A third admitted they would cheat on their taxes, while 23 percent would be willing to steal $10 million...
