...temporary hiatus should not last "more than several weeks" longer, according to PBHA President Roy E. Bahat...
...time All-Star and a nine-time Gold Glove first baseman, Mattingly hit .307 in his career with 222 home runs and 1,099 RBIs. He was the AL MVP in 1985, and later became only the 10th player to be named captain of the Yankees. His hiatus last year opened the door for the signings of first baseman Tino Martinez and, later, Cecil Fielder, who were both instrumental in the team's championship season. Mattingly's 14-year career coincided exactly with the Yankees' longest World Series drought since Babe Ruth joined the team. New York reached the finals...
...dance or act, I love going to plays. I tend to come to every performance of the same show, memorize every word and sit in the darkened audience imagining I am on stage.

Until this past weekend I had always assumed that the theater jocks were all drawn to that football-challenged fall-back school down in New Haven...
...real time--through high school and four years of college. ABC's Family Matters and its alien-voiced, freak man-child Steve Urkel have been with us for eight seasons--and yet the show remains the highest rated in its time period.

NBC's competent Wings has maintained a loyal following for six years, but even people who use the phrase Must-See TV without irony would...
...series of photographs of an Islamic holy place that shares a spot equally precious to Christians and Jews. Another great city forms the centerpiece of St. Petersburg: Architecture of the Tsars (Abbeville; $95). Peter the Great founded it in 1703 as Russia's "window to the West"; after the hiatus of Soviet rule, that window is open again and marvelous to see. Back to Mandalay: Burmese Life, Past and Present (Abbeville; $55) captures contemporary people set in a landscape brimming with exquisite antiquities...
