...Sin & Smashups. Abbé Renard seriously raises the question of whether the devout Christian should perhaps renounce entirely such a diabolical tool. His answer is no-first, because such a prospect would be practically impossible; second, because sensible driving is a pleasurable good (Renard, 34, a high school chaplain in the northern French village of Bethune, likes to drive himself).

The group that won the $25 prize as the best oldtime band, the Blue Ridge Boys of Winston-Salem, N.C., learned all of their music "from relatives" and are duly modest about their accomplishments: asked why he though the band had won, Banjoist Paul Idol replied Well, we all started on a tune exactly...

...Points. The crisis has passed, or, more precisely, evolved, into a concern over the complexities of family life. "There's been a lot of sin committed in the name of the family," he says. "Sins on the children, sins of husband and wife to each other. I feel about the family as I do about the middle class, that it's somehow fiercer in there than has been assumed...
