New York’s cover copy suggested a Grisham-size blitz for Morrow’s thinky thriller, Giovanni’s Gift (323 pages. Viking. $22.95). But Morrow’s publishers are actually embarked on a sane campaign. Viking paid Morrow an advance in the low six figures. They probably splurged on the beautiful cover, but they hardly overdid the print run (30,000 to 40,000 copies) or the marketing budget ($87.000). What Viking did, they did with caution and class....
Ninety-three years after that historic visit, the United States is sending another delegation to Panama–this time to give away Roosevelt’s dream. The mood this time is very different. Panamanian officials belatedly realized that few world leaders would feel like visiting on the last day of 1999, when–at precisely noon–the canal, and the virtual American colony that grew up around it, will officially belong to Panama. This Tuesday dignitaries will gather on the Miraflores Locks near the Pacific Ocean to celebrate the handover....
“The comparison is fundamentally flawed,” Bartlett told NEWSWEEK last week. “Even at 41’s highest approval ratings after the gulf war, he never broke 40 percent on handling the economy.” By contrast, Bartlett added, the son’s approval ratings are at least 15 points higher. But, hey, who’s counting? As it happens, almost everybody–at least inside the Bush White House. While the president’s overall job-approval number is still a robust 65 percent in the latest NEWSWEEK Poll (down from a high of 88 percent last fall), Bartlett, Karl Rove & Co....
You can see why. The event–parts of which will screen in up to 30 U.S. cities later in the year–is hardly festive, and despite the organizers’ intention to “showcase the heroic stories of activists and survivors,” any collection of films on human rights is more likely a catalog of human wrongs. It also has an unfashionable premise: that what is morally edifying for a film’s viewer may practically aid its subject....
In New York City, one woman’s apprehension over AIDS apparently led to an unusual plea bargain–and contributed to a growing debate over the competing rights of rape victims and defendants. According to an issue of The Manhattan Lawyer published last week, a former Columbia University security guard named Reginald Darby, who pleaded guilty in March to raping a 17-year-old undergraduate at knife point in her dorm, has been promised a reduced sentence in exchange for an agreement to take an AIDS test and provide his victim with the results....
Ideally, your sunglasses should fit close to your face and have large enough frames to keep light from straying into your vision around the top and sides. Look closely at the material of the temple arms (the part that goes over your ears). Certain materials like silicone and molded acetate will be much more comfortable than rigid plastic. Someone looking for an all-purpose set of sunglasses will have the most luck with a basic pair of Wayfarers, aviators or Browlines....

Read the newspaper or watch the news and see what’s happening around the world. That way you can talk about some current events. Talk about a movie or show you’ve both seen that you liked or disliked and what you both think about it.

Don’t skip over any words, not even the small ones. Enunciate each syllable of every word. Try saying, “The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue” over and over. Exaggerate each syllable. Repeat the words “rubber baby buggy bumpers. ” Say each word clearly. Repeat the phrase again and again. Exaggerate it at first and add a short pause between each word. Over time, this will help you learn to not link your words together so intensely while still enunciating each word clearly....
Toys that your kitten can bat or chase around are also good options. Try toy mice and balls.

Make sure you throw with your dominant hand. This is whatever hand feels the most comfortable. Always practice with a glove in your opposite hand – this is how you will have to throw in a game. The laces provide a surface to grip onto, and you will “pull” on the laces as you throw to give the ball backspin (the top of the ball spins back towards the bottom), which helps the throw’s speed and stability....
Walk your pit bull as often as necessary and take the time to clean up the dog’s mess. A well-exercised dog is a happy dog. Before you get your puppy, pick a toilet area outside your home that will be his go-to spot. As soon as he gets home, take him to this area until he uses the bathroom. Praise him for doing his business. Look for signs that he needs to use the restroom and lead him to the area when he shows them....
Don’t try to diagnose or treat WS on your own. See your doctor if you have a protruding shoulder blade or if there’s pain in your shoulder area that limits your ability to do daily activities like brushing your teeth or pushing a shopping cart. During physical therapy sessions, you’ll do targeted range-of-motion and scapula-strengthening exercises. You’ll probably also be shown exercises to do at home. Recovering from WS is a long-term process, so plan on attending physical therapy sessions for several months, and possibly 6 months or more....

Try all-natural products that cleanse with oils, rather than soap agents, to help your hair look healthy and glossy when it’s dry. Avoid using harsh shampoos made with sulfates, which can dry out your hair and cause it to look dull and frizzy. There is one exception to this rule. If your hair is wavy, it might be best to skip the leave-in conditioner. This can weigh down your hair, decreasing the curls and volume you’re trying to achieve through using a hair diffuser....
To split the pod, lay the vanilla bean pod on top of a clean, dry cutting board. Turn the hooked end of the vanilla bean to the top of the board.

Cut only into the center of the pod, not through it completely....
