...arrived, in quantity if not in quality. No one knows how many nonmovie tapes have been released, but estimates hover between 7,000 and 10,000. A few genres -- notably exercise tapes, children's cassettes and rock-concert videos -- have established a niche in the market. But the rest are fighting for a relatively tiny number of viewers. Usually produced on a shoestring, these made-for-home-video cassettes are doing well if they sell 20,000 or 30,000 copies (at prices ranging from $10 to $40). Says Bob Alexander, whose consulting firm Alexander & Associates tracks the home-video...

For their part, many Japanese have wearied of incessant U.S. nagging about trade issues and now express some satisfaction over the image of a bumbling Uncle...
...controlling emotion was hardest of all. "Fear is like fire," he never tired of saying. "It can cook for you. It can heat your house. Or it can burn it down." D'Amato's neck-bridging exercises enlarged Tyson's naturally thick stem to nearly 20 in., and the rest of him filled out in concrete blocks. Like every old trainer, D'Amato tried to instill a courtliness at the same time as he was installing the heavy machinery. "My opponent was game and gutsy," the 17-year-old Tyson remarked after dusting a Princeton man during the Olympic trials...
