...Amber into impact counseling. San Pedro officials, meanwhile, insist that they are doing all they can, what with budget cuts not only at the school level but in county mental-health services as well. The one school psychologist for 3,100 pupils works "almost full time," according to principal Stephen Walters, but focuses on special-education students. San Pedro's impact counselors are simply dedicated teachers with a little extra training that consists of three to seven days of workshops and lectures, and the program depends on a federal grant that may not survive the budget ax. And there...
...Stephen Roach, chief economist of the Morgan Stanley investment firm, that is a prescription for disaster. He thinks growth even this year may speed up to 3%, leading to rapid inflation in 1997 and possibly to a recession in 1998. And last Friday's financial-market action showed how widely his views are shared on Wall Street. Huge May increases in factory orders and new-home sales had made it obvious that growth is accelerating sharply from the anemic 2.2% pace of early 1996; estimates put the second-quarter rate at 4% or even 4.5%.

Many of these pollinators are in trouble, however, threatened by encroachment on open spaces, the felling and fragmentation of forests, industrial pollution and overzealous pesticide use.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about people such as William Julius Wilson and Stephen Covey. I was glad to see Robert Redford and Toni Morrison included. I even thought the controversial choices, like Louis Farrakhan and Michael Hammer, were O.K. too. They certainly are influential today. ELAINE PONDANT Carrollton, Texas...
...STEPHEN KING, another hermit of literature, has long been enamored of the RAMONES. The group's music crops up regularly in the movie versions of his books; he has also been known to frequent Ramones' concerts. But King makes his own music: he plays lead guitar for the all-writer band the Rock Bottom Remainders. The group covers a litany of rock favorites, dubbed "hard-listening music" by band member (and humor columnist) Dave Barry. To the tune of These Boots Are Made for Walking, fellow Remainder (and novelist) Amy Tan dons a tight leather jumpsuit and whips other band...
