...Spector. But never before have producers been so out front with their creative sound twisting and image mongering. As for C+C's masterminds, "I think we're more a part of the group than other producers are," says Cole. Even so, while C+C Music Factory uses vocalists Zelma Davis, Freedom Williams and the scantly credited Martha Wash, their names appear only in the production notes and liner material. It's C+C that -- as they say in the movie biz -- puts its name above the title. The attractive Davis and Williams appear on the album cover...
...California, as in Europe, winemaking has historically been a male prerogative. No longer. Inspired and encouraged by Mary Ann Graf and then Zelma Long at Sonoma's Simi Winery, a number of women have taken up the vinting craft, and are increasingly making their talents known. Kristin Belair, 31, a graduate of the University of California at Davis, is a newcomer to reckon with: the Wine Spectator rated her 1986 Johnson Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon 13th on its recent list of 100 "Hottest Wines." "Winemaking is a nice mix of art and science," she says. "I really like blending...
Indeed, it is the ever expanding California vineyard, now spread far beyond the traditional and best-known growing areas in Napa, Sonoma and Santa Clara counties, that has lured serious winemakers to the Pacific slopes from all over the world.

Police Chief Zelma Wyche of sultry, deep-Delta Tallulah, La., looks and acts the archetypal Southern cop. There is the ample belly hanging over the gun belt as the massive, 6-ft. 2-in. figure swaggers down the sidewalk. There is the natty uniform with gold stars on a white starched shirt, a button open at the neck. And there is the amiable cockiness, the touch of braggadocio, the blunt cigar and the smile revealing two gold-crowned teeth. Only one anomaly destroys the stereotype: Chief Wyche is black...
...Tallulah seems an unpromising town for a black police chief, Zelma Wyche, 52, at first glance seems even more unpromising as an agent of amelioration. A Tallulah resident most of his life, he has been the town's most active and noisy agitator for racial justice. His attitudes have hardly altered in office. His mannerisms grate on white nerves. He hails white people by their first names, criticizes without a qualm Tallulah's white civic leadership and unabashedly seeks personal publicity...
