...When banks looked for borrowers elsewhere, they ran into one bad risk after another, most notably the Third World countries. Says Katherine Hensel, a banking analyst for Shearson Lehman Hutton: "Just look at the legacy here. On the heels of the ((Third World)) debt problem, other pieces of the pie are beginning to fall apart for banks, such as real estate, LBOs and other highly leveraged transactions. These were pieces of the puzzle that were supposed to generate solid returns of capital. But the pieces aren't working. The banks just never had a period for a breather...
...recent cookbook publishing, but Paul Prudhomme's blackened everything has overshadowed the basics such as red beans and rice and pralines. Justin Wilson, who has a Cajun-cooking show on PBS, has remedied that with his humorous tome, Homegrown Louisiana Cookin' (Macmillan; $19.95).

Murphy notes that 10 years ago, theater grosses represented 80% of worldwide revenues; today they are only 30%. "And even taking out inflation, 30% of the 1990 pie is bigger than 80% of the 1980 pie." So there is less riding on the weekly theatrical tally. A film's main job is to establish itself as something the public wants to consume in the future, where the real money is. This long shelf life can persuade a studio to pay $3 million...
