...Living Fence costs $3 a foot, in contrast to $42 a foot for a chain link fence. Except for an occasional pruning (which must be done carefully), P.T. plants require virtually no maintenance. They take five years to reach effective size, but Barrier Concepts says the bushes last up to 35 years, three times as long as most metal fences.

Handling press for Bush must seem like a piece of cake to Nancy Reagan's former press secretary. Tate had to cope with such public relations nightmares as the "tiny little gun" the First Lady kept in her nightstand, the lavish redecoration of the White House and the $209,508 bill for new china.

We often claim that the people seeking psychotherapy make this moral judgment on their own, but this is almost never true." Almost never true, that mentally or emotionally...
After seven years of loyal service, the Vice President must offer his own vision to America. Will the Reagan legacy harm or help him? -- "I' ve been underestimated over and over again," Bush tells TIME. "He' s a blank slate," says Michael Dukakis. -- Garry Wills on the rise of the ultimate yes- man. -- Calvin Trillin discovers a newer, prepackaged New Orleans. -- See NATION...
