What shall we do tonight? TIME offers some answers to that increasingly confusing question in the Critics' Voices section at the front of the magazine. A forum for entertainment tips and mini-reviews of everything from books to brandy, the section provides a one-page guide to what is worth -- or not worth -- hearing, seeing and doing around the U.S. from week to week. Our critics raved about the program Night Music as "the best damn music show on television." But they warned watchers to skip the movie Wired in one terse comment: "The saddest thing about John Belushi...
Assembling this critical gallimaufry is the task of reporter-researcher Andrea Sachs. An attorney turned journalist who joined TIME in 1984, Sachs says her legal training "helps me to negotiate the little problems that come up."

...rather have sportsmen utilize the resource." You get used to blood- sport bureaucratese; "utilize,"or "harvest," is what you do when you get something fuzzy and four-footed in your sights. As in most states, New Hampshire's fish and game policies often seem to be caught in a time warp, perhaps in the decade of the 1820s, when subsistence hunting was an important food source for most families. Bears, these days, behave like large raccoons. They are smart, cute, hungry corn thieves and garbage raiders, happy in the suburbs and virtually harmless. Last year the state paid less than...
