...found charm in cynicism and anchored the first hit baseball movie in a dozen years. And as Ray Kinsella in the current Field of Dreams -- the Iowa farmer who hears spectral pleas of pain, builds a ball park in his cornfield and follows the voices back to his childhood heart -- Costner, 34, has touched filmgoers with an E.T. for adults...
...MANIACS: BLIND MAN'S ZOO (Elektra). Love songs like petitions, songs of conscience that come straight from the heart. This is a band with folkie inclinations, rock grit and a graceful way with a cry of pain.

"When Chang beat Lendl ((in the fourth round))," Sanchez said, "I think then I have a chance against Steffi. Plus, look what Monica did." Monica Seles, a two-fisted Yugoslav giggler, every bit of 15, terrified Graf in their three-set semifinal. "That gave me hope," said Sanchez, who came back...
