...Thank goodness Physical Phyllis quit smoking (731-7311)--now she can scale the wall at Boston Rock Gym (781-935-7325) without all the huffing and puffing! A yummy wrap at The Low-Fat-No-Fat Gourmet Cafe and Juice Bar (932-7676) finishes the afternoon off right...
Slayton shares Bush's sunny, crowd-pleasing disposition. Enthusiasm comes easy to him. Midway through the breakfast, when Jack Oliver, Bush's national finance director, calls to tell the group that the Governor won't be phoning in as promised, Slayton reacts as if this is good news.

It's movies like these, the ones that open out of nowhere and slowly build a following sans hype, that restore our faith in the public--especially in a summer...
...STEELERS will just keep plowing ahead and, with any luck, no one will wake them up. It's been a nice, smooth ride so far, and Kordell is keeping a stiff upper lip, thank goodness. The Seahawks have been unimpressive up to this point, although their defense looks better than in years past. Look for Pittsburgh to take it with 6 points to spare...
