Publishing without benefit of advertising, admits editor in chief Robin Morgan, "goes against all the traditional wisdom. But Ms. always has. That's what we're about." Subscriptions will cost $40 a year; newsstand copies will sell for $4.50. This time around, success depends on the editors' ability to woo the sophisticated -- and choosy -- women whom the original Ms. helped create...
...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. Gaston modestly insists, "You can only do what you can with what you have in terms of talent." There is no way to precisely quantify managerial might-have-beens. But author Bill...
...Hollywood contingent, out of the cast of Driving Miss Daisy, was low key. Gorbachev gave a discreet glance at Morgan Freeman's diamond earring, Jessica Tandy's ponytail, and said nothing. Gorbachev surveyed Senate majority leader George Mitchell, pronounced him "looking good." Mitchell promptly hustled the Soviet boss to come around to his native Maine on the next visit. The U.S. trade czar, Carla Hills, sat at Gorbachev's right but offered only a beatific smile when asked if she had cut any deals over the mixed spring salad. In the White House, candlelight and the aura of history soften...
