- PERSONALS
-
- Now that Jerry Brown is in the race, three single men are
- running for President (Brown has never married; Doug Wilder and
- Bob Kerrey are divorced). Get set for lots of campaign videos
- of President Bush and his grandchildren.
-
- FEAR OF FRYING
-
- Call it the Anita Hill syndrome. Last week three women
- withdrew from testifying before a Senate subcommittee that is
- examining how sex discrimination keeps women out of the top
- corporate ranks. The Senate has some fences to mend.
-
- MONSTERS IN A BOX
-
- Hot-selling boxed sets of CDs featuring legends from Bob
- Dylan to Frank Sinatra have created a desperate desire among pop
- stars for this new badge of legitimacy. Get ready for overkill:
- retrospective collections of the Monkees, the Carpenters and
- Great Speeches of the 20th Century.
-
- YOUTH'S DISAFFECTIONS
-
- Baby Busters just want to be left alone. The Bud Dry
- campaign appeals to these younger drinkers with its theme "Why
- Ask Why?" Expect songs and movies about the joy of
- disengagement.
-
- WORD OF THE WEEK
-
- Toxic is fast becoming the hot-button word. Books include
- Toxic Parents and Toxic Psychiatry. A USA Today headline last
- week trumpeted SHE FOUGHT TOXIC RACISM AND WON. Next: toxic
- ideas. You are what you think.
-
- POP CULTURE RECYCLED
-
- Saturday-morning cartoon shows have featured characters
- representing Yogi Bear when he was a teen and Roseanne as a
- little girl. Next February, George Lucas will bring Young
- Indiana Jones to TV. Look out for a backlash among children
- tired of hand-me-down heroes.
