Every avid golfer has a "handicap," but Steve Gandy has a real one. An insurance agent in Van, Texas, the 36-year-old Gandy has no hands. He lost them in an accident 14 years ago, and has to hold his clubs with metal prostheses. Still, Gandy often heads for the links and shoots a respectable 85 or so for 18 holes. Debbie La Plante, 21, a sophomore at the University of Toledo, enjoys racing in marathons. Her best time in the grueling 26.2-mile event is 3 hr. 31 min. That may not be a world record...
...Leibman and Jessica Walter are funny as a crass accountant and his smug wife. Ken Howard and Lisa Banes have striking moments as a would-be state senator and his disenchanted spouse. But the other couples -- Andre Gregory and Joyce Van Patten as a spaced-out therapist and his oddball wife, and Mark Nelson and Christine Baranski as neurotic lawyers -- derive from TV rather than life.

...tune, Hawkmoon 269, and press him into harmony-singing and lyric-writing service on Love Rescue Me, a high point not only for the band but also for their informal spiritual adviser. The Edge, the band's wizard guitar player, contributes a lilting, spooky piece of folk inspiration, Van Diemen's Land, and the whole group works out at Sun Studios in Memphis, where Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis cut some of their best sides. It is a deliberate pilgrimage, of course, but Angel of Harlem, one of the tunes recorded there, not only pays homage to the Sun tradition...
Most Administrations enter office promising a raft of new faces and a basketful of policy initiatives. As the first sitting Vice President to be elected since Martin Van Buren succeeded Andrew Jackson, Bush offers mostly continuity. His campaign produced enough new ideas to fill a 347-page campaign booklet. But the proposals, with the notable exception of a few tax-cutting ideas, were created more in response to political pressures than out of personal convictions...
