...Avenue's merchandise is hot. Palamarchuk believes it's more than 90%. Tony Kane, a special agent who covers Philadelphia for the National Insurance Crime Bureau, guesses 40%. "The general attitude on Passyunk is that if I don't buy it, the next yard will," says Kane. "You'll walk into a lot of yards and see nothing but a few doors and a lot of junk. That's because calls are made, orders are taken, and things get done through the back door...
...house was so streaked with humid tears it nearly had to be hosed down. But this movie is a bad cry, for calculation steams off it like skunk musk. It is packed with stale "sure-fire" routines, like the rendition of a rock-'n'-roll oldie (here Walk like a Man) and a funny car crash (which comes a reel or two after the fatal crash -- yikes!).

Your cardiovascular condition could benefit just as much if you accumulate half an hour of "moderate" activity each day. Garden, rake leaves, dance, climb steps, walk briskly to work. And don't fret about measuring your heart rate every time you think you've exercised. (That always looks pretentious anyway.) The American College of Sports Medicine's recommendation for the minimum target heart rate during exercise has been dropping for nearly 20 years. In 1975 the college said...
