...everybody in attendance knows the rules -- though, to the dismay of Danson and Goldberg, not always. Beavis and Butt-Head's troubles come from the same sort of confusion. The two cartoon nerds do not encourage stupidity and cruelty to animals; they satirize it. The show may actually be an endorsement of politically correct attitudes, points out Jack Nachbar, professor of popular culture at Ohio's Bowling Green State University. ''If you have a bigot put in front of you and made to look ridiculous,'' he says, ''then that becomes an attack on bigotry. Beavis and Butt-Head, politically incorrect...
...three-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth, had a man on third base with one out and the profligate Williams on the mound -- and couldn't force home the winning run. That came to the Phillies in the 10th, off the bat of Dykstra, a nerveless sort who gorges on pressure. Rocky whupped Apollo, and it was Philadelphia that was gonna fly now to the World Series. No need for analysis. As the Philadelphia Daily News advised in a back-page headline, WHY ASK HOW? The Blue Jays, with their pristine hitters, are the Series favorites. In Game...
...extraordinary sharpness of focus, the dreamlike distinctness of Miro's early rural images to the fevered impressionability of a convalescent mind. The countryside in general, and Montroig in particular, would always exercise a peculiar fascination for Miro. The farm was the symbol of what Catalans call enyoranca -- a sort of global, unappeasable nostalgia, a longing for the past and for one's roots.

...rambling horizon line, the earth featureless and red, the sky equally featureless (except for the ceremonious care with which the paint has been deposited) and blue. In the sky hangs a thing like a bladder, with a thin black line dangling to Earth: the ''flower.'' The ''rabbit,'' a sort of yellow Shmoo, regards it from below. There is nothing else. It ought to be ridiculous, but it is profoundly haunting, full of an indefinable melancholy provoked by what Miro identified as the main motif of his work: ''tiny forms in vast empty spaces.'' And you are always struck...
...best known to the public as TV's crew-cut, uniformed Hotel employee, so Shari Belafonte-Harper, 31, likes to compensate for that contained image the rest of the time. ''You go out so many times, you sort of feel like, 'What can I do that will make me a little different?'' she says. At a recent awards ceremony, she turned heads with a glittering turquoise outfit, complete with matching wig. This month at a celebrity ''epicurean gala'' in Los Angeles benefiting cancer research, she fried up a batch of her mother-in-law's sesame chicken, complete with ''beer...
