...those with anything left to spend after the holiday excesses, what better causes to spend it on than sport and fitness? Every year, the American desire to wed high-tech creativity with recreational activity grows more intense -- and the resulting gizmos grow more intriguing and elaborate. No innovation is safe from rethinking: last year's air-filled running shoe, for example, is now competing against a new computer-designed number from Puma that needs no laces, straps or Velcro fasteners. The Puma Disc tightens by means of an invisible system: a turn of the dial on the shoe's tongue...
...Laurents seems to have had trouble taking either half of the story seriously. The mystery investigation involves a series of pantomime flashbacks, each sillier-looking than the one before. The title characters are written so carelessly that in the opening scene one cannot be sure whether they are newly wed or suffering from seven- year itch. Their marital discord flares up out of nowhere and ends just as abruptly. The wife's flirtation with an oily gangster fits no visible aspect of her personality. It is also baffling that she seems to find her husband raffish and charming when...

...there is a villain to this story, it has to be this liberal political establishment so wed to its paternal power over American Blacks that it will stop at nothing--and stoop to anything--to prevent the inevitable erosion of power that an articulate and unbeholden new Black leadership represents. If anyone was "out of touch with reality," to quote Sen. Howell Heflin (D-Ala.), it was what's left of the left...
...debate over the virtues of economic carrots and sticks. "It's been demonstrated that incentives work," says University of Chicago economics professor Gary Becker. "The controversy is over magnitude." But some critics charge that Thompson's policies -- which basically seek to force welfare recipients to learn, work and wed -- smack of Big Brotherism. They also accuse the Governor of oversimplifying poverty and human motivation. Changing behavior, notes Theodore Marmor, a political science professor at Yale, "is a lot more complex than simpleminded microeconomics." Some even sense a veiled racism. "It's no longer permissible to make direct appeals based...
