Young was only the worst offender. At various times, he blamed his horrible pitching on Morgan, shortstop Luis Rivera and the American League schedule. Remember, we're talking about a guy who cannot even throw the ball to first base. (Of course, Young insists that this psychological "disease" is not his fault. All I know is, he's getting paid $6 million and he really sucks...
...glut has never been so thick. Povich, former host of A Current Affair, is just one of half a dozen newcomers elbowing their way into a field already crowded with such long-distance runners-off-at-the-mouth as Phil Donahue, Oprah Winfrey, Geraldo Rivera, Sally Jessy Raphael, Joan Rivers and the irrepressible Regis & Kathie Lee. Stand-up comic Jenny Jones' new daytime show started off with a bigger initial lineup of stations than any syndicated talk show in history. Montel Williams, a former naval-intelligence officer and motivational speaker, emcees an issue-oriented program currently being test- marketed...

Packed with illustrations, scholarly essays and an introduction by the great Mexican writer Octavio Paz, it weighs just...
...This happened with the confluence of modernism, Marxism and nostalgia for the fresco cycles of pre-Hispanic antiquity that turned in the 1920s, under the patronage of Mexico's Minister of Education Jose Vasconcelos, into the mural movement: Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. The special value of this show is that instead of treating these Big Three as isolated characters, it presents a dozen or more other Mexican artists of the time in some depth -- starting with the spectacularly gifted Saturnino Herran, who would certainly be as celebrated today as Rivera himself...
