...their son Jonathan, 4. "And there's maybe 30 minutes every day," says Ron, "when we don't discuss having another child. But where would the extra minutes come from?" Lynne runs the red-hot Manhattan Theater Club; Ron is a partner in a midsize law firm. They live in a home where the telephone cords stretch into every room, and the nanny starts work at 7:30 a.m. "You can imagine what getting out the door in the morning is like," says Ron. Are there regrets? He ponders, "Can we take the added pressure that a second child would...
...They chauffeur people to airports, return video tapes, cater parties. "I can pick up the phone and ask them to do anything," says Debbie Findura, 35, a part- time real estate agent who has called them to fix a light bulb that broke off in the socket, remove a live lizard she found in her oven, and deliver a package of hot-dog buns for one of her family picnics. "We charged $20 to deliver 59 cents worth of hot-dog buns," says Rogers, "but she had them there, and that's what these people expect...
...this conspiracy drama is the specter of the powerful Creative Artists Agency, headed by superagent Michael Ovitz. Ovitz was Belushi's agent, and his company's star-packed client list includes several of the comedian's friends who were angered by Woodward's book, among them fellow Saturday Night Live star Dan Aykroyd, SNL producer Lorne Michaels and brother Jim Belushi.

Belushi, the brilliant, volatile star of Saturday Night Live and films like National Lampoon's Animal House, has become a posthumous icon, a symbol of the raucous counterculture comedy that Saturday Night Live spearheaded in the '70s. But cinematic tales of drug abuse (Less Than Zero, Clean and Sober) have fizzled at the box office, and Wired is an especially downbeat example. What's more, with Belushi's work so vividly remembered (and still widely available in TV reruns), a movie re-creation might seem morbidly gratuitous, even by Hollywood standards...
...nationalism had erupted in violence yet again in one of Mikhail Gorbachev's non-Russian republics. From the Baltic republics to earthquake-devastated Armenia, greater independence from Moscow has become a rallying cry. The latest troubles began last month, when a minority group known as the Abkhazians, who live in an autonomous enclave in the western part of Georgia, demanded full independence. Georgians, who account for 48% of the population in Abkhazia where Abkhazians are a mere 17%, staged counterprotests, which quickly spread to Tbilisi and mushroomed into calls for more autonomy from Moscow and even secession. As funeral processions...
