Good old American staples, generally labeled "Hard Rock Classics" on the menu, are best bets. These include a scrumptious bacon cheeseburger, chicken Caesar salad and The "Pig" Sandwich of barbecued pork. Entrees range from $7 to $12. In addition, there is an impressive seasonal menu with more pizzazz. This fall, try the Santa Fe Spring Rolls with chicken and beans, served in a large cocktail glass over a bed of lettuce and tomato, with sour cream and salsa on the side...
DIED. VICTOR MILLS, 100, ingenious engineer who changed babies--and parenting--forever with the invention of the first mass-marketed disposable diaper; in Tucson, Ariz.

As with the nasty rash of shows that broke out after the first season of Friends (remember Can't Hurry Love? Pig Sty?), producers are standing in line to photocopy Touched by an Angel. But the conversion might not hold. The networks' best religious shows, Promised Land and Nothing Sacred, risk getting crushed by their heathen Thursday-night competition, Friends. Religion may be jamming the tube this season, but the young and the reckless still rule. Sinners, after all, have killer demographics...
