...Bold and the Beautiful in 1987. It might be considered an act of courage, then, that NBC, home of Sunset Beach, the lowest-rated soap on television, this week unleashes a lavish daytime drama, Passions. But soaps continue to be made and broadcast because, when all is said and done, they continue to generate a good deal of money--$50 million to $60 million a year for a successful one. NBC's new hour-long series, centered on four families and set in the fictitious New England seaside town of Harmony, runs right after the popular Days of Our Lives...
Publicly, Clinton still seems to comment on the race as if he were doing analysis for MSNBC. He can admiringly quote George W. Bush's exact fund-raising totals by state--though he told USA Today that he could have done better.

This is, after all, a country that systematizes: we create seminars on how to make friends, teach classes in grieving and make pet walking a profession. In that light, Gregg Heinzmann's praise of unstructured play seems almost un-American. Any activity, no matter how innocent or trivial or spontaneous, can become specialized in America. So if our children are to have sports, we will make leagues and teams, write schedules and rule books, publish box scores and rankings, hire coaches and refs, buy uniforms and equipment...
