...Wilson and the recent resignation of vocalist Cindy Wilson have dwindled the group to a trio. Still, as their seventh album, Good Stuff, demonstrates, their talent has by no means diminished. What were once "rapid-fire three-way vocals," as singer Kate Pierson calls them, are now back-and-forth dialogues between Pierson and Fred Schneider.

But there is at least one: What other democratic nation would make a bantam like J. Danforth Quayle its Vice President and send him forth to lecture on public morality and cultural health? Last month's sitcom episode in which the Vice President mistook Candice Bergen, a.k.a. Murphy Brown, for the Scarlet Woman of Babylon has already passed into history. A baby out of wedlock! The Veep blew his chance to link this fictional infant to the agenda of the antiabortion lobby...
