- <p>HILLARY WATCH
- </p>
- <p> 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.
- </p>
- <p>LONE STAR DISEASE
- </p>
- <p> 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.
- </p>
- <p>JOYS OF THE OPEN ROAD
- </p>
- <p> 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.
- </p>
- <p>RECREATIONAL HAZARDS
- </p>
- <p> Some workers suffer from carpal-tunnel syndrome. Now
- Nintendo addicts report a new hand ailment dubbed Nintendinitis.
- Can Rollerbladitis be far behind?
- </p>
- <p>DEFENDER OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS
- </p>
- <p> 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.
- </p>
- <p>CALL YOUR WAITPERSON
- </p>
- <p> 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."
