...more. During the first six months of 1990, according to the Department of Commerce, consumer spending growth was flat. At the same time, consumer debt rose at an annual rate of only 3%, down from 7.6% in 1989 and 8.5% in 1988. Edward Hyman, chief economist at C.J. Lawrence, Morgan Granfel, a Manhattan brokerage firm, predicts a virtual standstill in consumer borrowing for the next 12 months, a phenomenon not seen since the 1950s. At the same time, socking away money is regaining popularity. In April the personal savings rate topped 6% for the first time in more than five...
...resurrection of the Mets is far from unique. When Joe Morgan was tapped as manager of the Boston Red Sox in July 1988, the supercharged team immediately won twelve straight games and the division crown. So too with last year's Toronto Blue Jays and fill-in manager Cito Gaston, who inherited an unmotivated team mired in sixth place and spurred it into the American League play-offs.

In the White House, candlelight and the aura of history soften...

After that, it is back to Cambridge, where Sharis and Bernstein will train for this year's world championships in October in Tasmania...
...about nothing, perhaps, but the power of pictures to shock the nervous system -- so much so that the film may be rated X in the U.S. It's about the fun that actors can have with characters named Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe), Perdita Durango (Rossellini) and Mr. Reindeer (Morgan Shepherd). It's about obsessive imagery and compulsive behavior: half the people walk on crutches, and just about everybody chain-smokes, sometimes two cigarettes at a time. And, aptly for a film shown in the living movie museum of Cannes, Wild at Heart is Lynch's fond homage to The Wizard...
