GRAPEVINE, Page 15FORWARD SPIN
By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Wendy Cole
HILLARY WATCH
Somebody around here needs to chill out. Only days after
offending moms with her sarcastic remark about baking cookies,
Hillary Clinton muffed another softball question last week.
Asked whether she might serve as Vice President in a Clinton
Administration, she snapped, "I'm not interested in attending
a lot of funerals." Not to worry.
LONE STAR DISEASE
More Texans died from gunshots in 1990 than from traffic
accidents. No other state has seen gun deaths surpass car
fatalities. Look for fresh gun-control efforts.
JOYS OF THE OPEN ROAD
General Motors and other automakers are tooling up
electric cars. Saab is developing a model with a joystick in
place of a steering wheel. Electronic dashboard maps are coming.
Next: a data screen instead of a windshield.
RECREATIONAL HAZARDS
Some workers suffer from carpal-tunnel syndrome. Now
Nintendo addicts report a new hand ailment dubbed Nintendinitis.
Can Rollerbladitis be far behind?
DEFENDER OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS
He's gone to bat for Claus von Bulow, Michael Milken and
Leona Helmsley. Last week Alan Dershowitz showed up in
Indianapolis to handle "Iron Bars" Mike Tyson's appeal. Wonder
if he's too busy to help out Mrs. Noriega with her grand-theft
charges.
CALL YOUR WAITPERSON
Some restaurants now pass out beepers so that people
waiting for tables can go for a walk. Others feature
airline-style lights on tables; when customers want service,
they flick them on. Look out for a speaker in the booth: "Hi,
I'm Randy, your waiter. Here are today's specials."
