...citizenry. Republican Governor William Clements is also pushing an appointive system, though only for the nine-member high court. "Texans have lost faith in their judicial system," he says. Clements charges that the court's popularly elected justices -- all Democrats -- have developed a "pro-plaintiff tilt" that encourages "virtually limitless judgments" and scares businesses away. Jamail, the state's king of torts, half concedes the point. "What kind of an ass would I be," he says, "if I didn't try to give back something that promotes the plaintiff's philosophy...
...here. Creatures from Out There, UFOs are invading the nation's bookstores. Moreover, these accounts of aliens are not sci-fi; they are on nonfiction shelves, and one has even climbed up the best-seller list. In 1985, according to Novelist Whitley Strieber (The Wolfen), small creatures with "fierce, limitless eyes" abducted him from his cottage in upstate New York and subjected him to painful prods and probes.

Lin has taught cooking at the China Institute in America in New York City for years, and her patience with students mastering the intricate hand operation of Chinese cooking is evident throughout. There is meticulous information on ingredients and techniques -- buying the correct flours, handling rolling pins and cutters and sealing edges so that dumplings do not steam apart. Cold...
Unfortunately, Rubin's Lady Macbeth is not as consistently convincing as her better half. In her near-hysterical rendering of Lady Macbeth's opening speeches, Rubin seems to have approached her character as if the lady was pathologically insane at the onset of the play. Although her energy is limitless, and sometimes truly frightening, we are deprived of seeing Lady Macbeth's great descent into madness: only the amplitude of her performance, never the content, varies...
