...dinner-table debates over corned beef and cabbage. William Buchanan--always "Pop" to his seven sons and two daughters--was a successful accountant. But the model he set for his third son Patrick was not of green-eyeshade bookkeeping but red-blooded combativeness. In the basement of the Buchanan household, Pop Buchanan rigged up a punching bag and made each of his sons pound it four times a week: 100 times with the left, 100 times with the right, 200 combinations. For Pop, as for his son Pat, the holy trinity was faith, family and country, and a fellow...

What would persuade her to pose for photos with the stars of the shows, JEAN SMART of High Society, FRAN DRESCHER of The Nanny, CANDICE BERGEN of Murphy Brown, MARY MCDONNELL of Society and NANCY MCKEON of Can't Hurry Love, some of whom are barely household names? Actually, just a nice request and a substantial donation to Taylor's aids charity, AmFAR. (A CBS staff member who used to live next door to Taylor's assistant helped.)

Yes, ultimately some of these movies will be slick Hollywood trash. But only then will African Americans as a group have arrived--when we can create Hollywood "trash" that...

...rate of about 100 families a day. In an overt challenge to Karadzic, who wants to control their movements, they are loading cars and trucks and trekking toward Serbian territory.

Columns of vehicles laden with household goods rumbled across the runway of Sarajevo airport into Serbian areas of Bosnia last week...

...MICROSYSTEMS HAD a problem on its hands. One of the company's brightest software developers had created a new computer-programming language called Oak that nobody seemed to want. Originally designed for writing control software for the computer chips that run microwave ovens and other state-of-the-art household appliances, it had been reconfigured several times over the past five years--for cable-TV set-top boxes, for video-game machines, for personal computer CD-ROMS. But every time it looked as if Oak might finally find a home, the deal somehow fell through. Even its name...
