...James Dobson, a child psychologist whose daily radio show, Focus on the Family, dispenses advice over 1,200 stations. Among mainline dropouts and seekers the star is Connecticut psychiatrist M. Scott Peck, who fused the psychological with the spiritual in The Road Less Traveled, a New York Times paperback best seller for a record 490 weeks. Peck was baptized a Christian in 1980 but sees no reason to join a church; his latest book, A World Waiting to Be Born, claims that businesses could become the true spiritual citadels of tomorrow...

But even this modified deficit- reduction promise owed little to Clinton...
...Judy Slattum (Chronicle; hardcover, $29.95; paperback, $18.95). According to the Balinese, their religion is monotheistic; but their God "takes as many forms as the sun has rays." The most dramatic of those forms are here, along with scores of other stark, comic or beautiful masks. Each is exquisitely carved; all express the yearning of an ancient and still dynamic culture...
