...With a lot of tourists chasing a few leaves, the competition is beginning to get stiff. The Connecticut Chamber of Commerce says that everything's fine - you just might want to come by to view the trees a week or two earlier this year - and recently took out ads in 11 magazines to reinforce the message. The state of Maine will post weekly foliage updates beginning September 15. In Vermont, state officials smugly point out that the drought hasn't hit their state as hard, especially in the northern half. Meanwhile, Rhode Island, suffering through its worst summer for rain...
Then there's Blair Witch. It has no sex or even sexual tension, no music of any kind, no demonic power tools. No prowling, voyeuristic camera from the killer's point of view; this movie is all about victims and the victims they make of each other. There are no shock cuts to the monster. In fact, no visible monster! Because the audience sees only what the camera does. At night it is sometimes pitch-black; for excruciating minutes, we are literally in the dark. The physical mayhem is limited to one conk on the head. There's no slashing...
...Movie Stars had a relatively strong start amid weak summer competition, while Beggars' ratings have not taken off, despite fairly positive reviews. Action, however, will prove a big test.

Modern Maturity magazine reports that 67% of men and 57% of women age 45 or older say a satisfying sexual relationship is important to them, and more than a quarter of Americans 75 or older have sex at least once a week. Also, the number of people who view their partners as physically attractive increases with age. Fifty-six percent of those 45 to 74 say they do, rising to 61% of those 75 or older...
...Gore's lone challenger for the Democratic nomination is still speaking out against that reform. Welfare is "a disastrous system," Bradley recently told TIME, "but the way to deal with it is federal commitment and state experimentation, not the Federal Government washing its hands [of the problem]." Holding that view requires courage. In a survey commissioned by the G.O.P., 60% of those polled said they were less likely to vote for Bradley after hearing his position on welfare. If there's anyplace in America where people still swoon over that kind of rhetoric, you'd think it would...
