Maisch said: "These folks don't have to answer to anybody for their decision." Nichols, 42, was convicted of con· spiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and eight counts of invol· untary manslaughter for the eight fed· eral agents killed in the blast. He was acquitted of using a weapon o(mass destruction and of destruction by explosive. The split verdict came six months after McVeigh was convicted and ·sentenced to death on II identical counts .. His appeal 'is pending. Unlike McVeigh's jury, jurors for Ni chols were all owed to consider lesser charges if they were un ahlc to find premeditation in the eighl first· degree murder charges.

Prosecutor releases records in fireworks fire case IRONTON (AP) -A prosecutor on Thesday released three boxes of records related to a fireworks-store fire in rural Lawrence County that killed nine people in 1996. A mentally disabled man was found incompetent to stand trial on charges of involuntary manslaushter in the case. Todd Hall, 25, of Proc· torville, was ordered confined to a I 1., Columbus psychiatric ~ospital for 811 indefinite period. The (Huntinston, W.Va.) Herald· Dispatch had sought the records in a lawsuit pending in the Ohio Supreme Coun. The records focused on allegations that three juveniles had goaded Hall into lightins a firecracker inside the Ohio River Fireworks store in Scot- town July 3, 1996. 'fhe store was crowded with holiday shoppers when its inventory caught fire. The records released Thesday by county Prosecutor J.B. Collier Jr. contained statements by officials and witnesses, including three "uncharged suspects." Coli ier has said there was not enough evidence to file charges against the juveniles. ..;," ( One witn ess said she thought the juveniles may have encouraged J::lall to light the firecracker, but later said she only saw the juveniles and Hall enter the store. One juvenile said the three had told Hall to stay in their truck while tbey bought fireworks inside the store. While they waited to pay, fire· works started goin g off in the back df the store , the boy said . The families of some of tbe victims have sued the store's owners. Collier said he had discussed filin g more charges in tbe case with lhe famili es' lawyer. ."

And co-owner Don Lerner says there would be even more shoppers if pawn shops could shake their image. "You'd be surprised at the number of people who are apprehensive about visiting pawn shops because for years the movies and TV have depicted them as dark, dingy places where criminal types go to fence stolen items," Lerner said. "That's not true, of course." Despite that lingering image. Christmas business is booming at area pawn shops. Best-sellers include jewelry and musical instruments. Shopper perks include prices up to 50 percent lower than those charged by other retail outlets for new merchandise. "Money doesn't go as far as it used to, so people are looking for good deals at Christmas, and ~~y are finding them at pawn shops," Said Dave Bertke. co-owner of Rich 's Pawn Shop. Lerner echoed Bertke's com• ments. " Pawn shops are the original discounters, and the Christmas season is our busiest time of the year," he said.

Changing income tax s.ystem a perplexing ~issue ByiiUSANMQl 8l1d WI I 'HI II. W£l.CH USA TODAY WASHINGTON - Remember the bealtb care debate that dominat. ed 1994?

More than a decade after the last major tax reform bill was passed, Republican and Democratic congressional leadels are poised to put competing tax overhaul bills at the top of the agenda next year. President Clinton, while leery of those sweeping measures, is considering various lax simplification proposals of his own. There are no guarantees that the system will be changed next year.

Sinito, 59, collapsed in the day room of his dormitory Sunday at the Belmont Correctional Institution ncar St. Clairsville; said Michele Eberlin , a spokeswoman for medium- and minimum-security prison. He apparently died of natural causes, possibly a heart attack, she said today. Sinito spent the last 15 years of his life behind bars in federal and state institutions. Most recently, he was serving a seven- to 25-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter in connection with the 1981 execution murder of his former bodyguard, David Perrier, in Trumbull County. A state parole board had denied his release in 1995. . Sinito was convicte-d in the early 1980s of federal drug chBflles. conspiracy, tax-evasion and loan-sharking. . Sinito ran a gift-basket business in Beachwood as a cover for hts underworld activities, said former federal prosecutor Donna Congeni Fitzsimmons, now a municipal judge in Rocky River. . Wiretapped conver.;ations showed Sinito was behtnd the Cleveland Mafia's move into narcotics, which led to its collapse as Mafia members turned on each other, The Plain Dealer reported. . James Willis, Sinito's former lawyer, called him a courageous and an honorable friend . lOEVERIDNE FROM THE DAILY SENTINEL AND YOUR CARRIERS C.C.I. •' ' Then there's " rolling admissions," which means the institutions review applications as they are recetved.

And the College Board says only 97 of 230 colleges with early decision plans follow standards for such things as application deadlines established in the 1960s when there were fewer institutions. Its survey found there were 134 institutions with early action plans. "It's gotten a little crazy," said Joyce E. Smith, executive director of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, in Alexandria. Va. Last year, the group found an increase in early decision applications at nearly half of the 300 institutions it surveye-d.

By DAVID BAUDER I# Televlllon Writer NEW YORK (AP) - You've missed "Seinfeld" or "The Young and the Restless," and it's killing you. Even knowing ahead of lime wouldn't have helped, since you've never figured out how to program the VCR. c A new service offer.; cable TV subscribers dozens of opportunities to see favorite shows at limes more Convenient to them. It needs to overcome a skeptical industry before it becomes widely av~ilable. · Your Choice TV is a six-channel pay-per-view service that schedules reruns of television shows through· out the day and night. Theoretically, a "Seinfeld" fan who missed Thursday night's episode could see it on .,,.,,., Friday morning, or Sunday afternbon, for 99 cents. ~ · "What they're paying for is not so much the show itself but the con• v.enience of watching it right no'w," silid 'Nancy Stover, president and chief executive officer of Your <lhoice TV. : Your Choice now is available I() alx>ut 10,000 people in six states Y!ho subscribe to digitally-equipped cable services with an ability to carry more channels than most sy~­ tems ..Your Choice TV expects the number to balloon to 2.1 million in the next year. .: Viewers may choose among HBO movies, 'some ESPN sports shows and National Geographic documentaries.

In fact, I'm certain that pregnant woman took to heart your admonition she shouldn 'I get into fiSifights, although you are the one who seated her on stage with her boyfriend's paramour. . But there's no getting around the fact that your show stands for mockery of the weak, the lost and the human condition in general, and that you exemplify the belief that any chance to appear on TV, no matter how degrading, represents fame worth having. · ' .

The "Seinfeld" example is theoretical because NBC doesn 'I allow it~ prime-time programs on Your Choice TV. Neither does CBS or Fox. ABC is experimenting, with "Ellen" . the only prime-time entertainment &cries allowed so far. Local broadcast affiliates don 'I want network programming on Your Choice because it will intrude upon their ~xclu· sive rights to air it and sell tiffie to advertisers based on those rights. Alan Bell likens it to a Lexus dealer who looks across the street and sees someone selling the same cars from an empty lot. The president of Freedom Broadcasting, which owns six local TV stations across ihe country, said affiliates would want to he paid if their programs were shown elsewhere. He doesn't think networks want · to risk alienating their affiliates by getting involved with the new service. Bell may have a point; the subject is so touchy that executives at ABC, CBS and NBC all turned down requests to discuss Your Choice TV publicly. Even without the business complications, Bell is skeptical about the idea. With. so many viewing choices already, will people want to pay for something they could have seen for · free? "I just don't see much hunger on ·• .Dottie ~ I 1.!!.1 '!I'll llllll' the part of the public to see a newscast two hours later," he said. One cable analyst said he believed the idea could work for the same reason that people pay to watch movies on TV that they have seen in theaters or could easily rent at the video store. "If they can show some financial success, then people will want a piece of it," said Larry Gerbrandt of Paul Kagan & Associates. CBS Eye on People signed a deal this month to make two of its programs available on Your Choice TV. One motivation for the cable network is obvious: Very few people see their shows now, so any opportunity for exposure must ·be exploited. · f.ye on People President Geof-' frey Darby called Your Choice 1V an interesting experiment that will reveal whether, and how much, the public will pay, for television on . demand. Programs bought through Yout Choice TV come with the same commercials aired originally or new ones. Because cable companies know the demographic profile of people who are ordering shows, there's ttie potential to let them pick and choose who they show com merdais to. Stover's goal is to convince networks that Your Choice TV will enhance interest in their programs, not siphon off viewers who watch at the regular times. She believes it Q ristmas s.c.- Awe.

Once-oblique ads ("Only Zantac is Zantac") have given way to more detailed ones explaining what the heck a drug actually does. But if I'm supposed to feel equipped to call the shots on trealment, does that mean medical training is passe? Perhaps continued viewership of "ER" and "Chicago Hope" (and maybe "General Hospital" for my residency) is all I need to feel comfortable enough to . start yanking appendixes. I'm not a doctor or a pharmacist, but I can make like one, thanks to 'IV. Speaking of "ER," I'm not buying that it deserves·to be the No.1rated drama this year. Sentimentality has run amok in recent episodes, detracting from the show's trademark visceral excitement and sharply drawn characters. The clash of wills between HIVinfected staffer Jeanie Boulet and administrator Dr. Kerry Weaver is gripping, but other storylines seem overly sweet or hang-overs running out of steam (the Dr. Ross-Nurse Hathaway romance). "Homicide," "Law & Order" and "The X-Files" haven't sue- combed to. the veteran series doldrums and, in fact, continue to hit new dramatic heights. If "ER" wants to deserve the sky-high price expected when it re-negotiates its contract with NBC (or jumps to a new network home), a little sharpening of the scalpel is in order. I'm also a dubious window·shopperatthe "Larger is Better" boutique for conglomerates that nearly blot out the sun, but seek to grow larger still. Everybody's a winner when Time Warner joins with Turner Broadcasting, or Walt Disney and ABC marry, the companies assure us. But even Ted Thmer, clearly a beneficiary of the trend, has his doubts. "Anytime you have too much power in one place ... it's not healthy for anybody," Turner said at a recent cable TV convention. No, wait, he was referring to predictions that software mogul Bill Gates will try to dominate the emerging interactive TV-Internet world. Here's what Turner had to say about mega-co mpanies: "H may turn out that they are too unwieldy to operate," he frellcd, unless the many pans can work tog.cthcr smoothly.

"It's less about catching a show that you missed but more about 'Wow, that's cool. I had no idea· that show existed, m she said. Half the people who buy HBO programs through Your Choice TV are already HBO subscriberS - an indication that the convenience of the service isn't driving customers away from the pay cable network, she said. Stover has embarked on her delicate sales job knowing that the more successful Your Choice TV is with viewers, the more threatening it is to the industry. · "If we're too successful, then we're a failure.' • she said. ult would upset the Nielsen ratings, upset the nerworks and make it hard for them to work with us.

Increasingly, merchants are discovering the value of coddling special shoppers now that they've invested in computers that enable them to track an individual's spending. "Retailers are finally embracing it," said Richard Barlow, publisher of Colloquy, a newsletter that tracks frequency marketing programs. "They s.iks offers other goodies as well. For instance, 80 of itS Sales First loyalty program customers who had spent at least $10,000 each at Saks this year attended a dinner at New York's exclusive Chanterelle to chat with Saks CEO Philip Miller and designer Caroline Herrera over forkfuls of gingered salmon and ravioli of winter squash with porcini and wild hare. "Our Sales First pro(!1111l1S drive an inordinate amount of our company's sales," said Bette Chabot, a Sales vice president, declining to be more spe· cific. "It's a lot about developing relationships" with customers. Neiman Marcus holds three private shopping parties during the year for its InCircle members, customers who spet1d at least $3,000 a year in its stores. They work because of an axiom in retailing: 20 percent of a store's cus· tomers account for 80 percent of its profits. "Some customers, certainly at a luxury chain, easily drop $20,000 or'$30,000 a year without any ditficul· ty." said Isaac Lagnado of market research firm Tactical Retail Solu· tions. "They arc going to get a dif· ferent approach, much more personalized." Cartier, for instanCe, holds invita· tion-only holiday panics at each of its 23 domestic jewelry stores.

Caring about the environment is out. Phone cards are in. Boxer shorts are out. Surfing the Net is in. Music videos are out, Now a quick guide to the fickle tastes of Hollywood: Teens are in. Everybody else is out. Teen culture could dominate film in the next few years, thanks to a growing 13-to-19 population that loves to go to the movies -loves it more than dating, shopping and sleeping in, according to a survey by Teen Research Unlimited of Northbrook.- III., which polled 2,008 teens across the nation (margin of error: 3 percentage points). "There is a surge of teen-agers coming our way," said Mark Gill, president of Miramax in Los Angeles. the studio that launched this month's teen mega-magnet "Scream 2." "It' s inevitable. And that, down the road, will be important." . Sometimes called Generation Y, these are the spawn of the huge population bulge known as the baby boomlet. These 77 million offspring born since 1978 started hitting their teen years in 1991,ending a 15·year cycle of declining teen ranks. Today, the teen population is accelerating at twice the rate of the rest of us. Here's a scary thought: By 2010, the teen population will crest at 30.8 million , the biggest in U.S. history. By comparison, the teen population of the baby boom crested in 1976 at 29.9 million. And, thanks to the baby boomlet's generous purse strings (allowance is still a teen's No. 1 source of income), these kids are spending money more than $100 billion a year- on clothes and ·shoes, pagers and tell phones and movie tickets. Hqllywood has noticed. The opening weekend of "Scream 2" proved a wake· up call for anyone doubting the box-office clout of young America. The $24 million sequel to last year's sleeper slasher hit:" Scream" raked in a whopping $33 million, the best December open-· ing weekend in history. 'IWo-lhirds of that audience was under 25.ln its second week, the movie took in $14 million, behind "Titanic" and "Tomor-. row Never Dies." · "l.'m sure after that weekend every studio is trying to make movies for teen-agers.

"There was red dye all over this person's clothing when hew~ arrested," said FBI spokesman Robert Hawk. · Security guards at a National City branch grabbed the suspect after a teller pushed an alann button, Hawk said. But Hawk said the red dye was not a factor in the man's arrest.

"Scream 2's" record-breaking opening caught even Miramax off guard. Gill said the company had predieted a $25 million opener. Entertainment analyst David Davis of the Los Angeles-based investment banking firm Houlihan. Lokey, Howard and Zukin said " Scream 2's" success will prompt a major change in the economics of Hollywood. The basic drive of studios has been to make movies that appeal to as demographically wide an audience as possible. Without that broad suppon, the thinking goes. a film cannot open well . That's why Hollywood loads films with "bankable" stars and dazzling effects, two items that significantly drive up filmmakinR costs. You need both, executives have thought, to get kids and their parents into theaters. "Scream 2," which had neither, set that thinking on its head, Davis said. "I've been watching films appear weekly for nine years, and this is the biggest change I've seen," he said. "It's the first real shifting in !he 1990s. The idea has always been that if you can make your movie appeal to the widest audience you can suc· ceed. Perhaps that isn't so anymore. Maybe the new idea is that if you can succeed in targeting 10 your core demographic, you can make a good gross." Other movies, like .!ll.~al arts action films. target specific audi· ences but haven't brought in box office like "Scream 2." Its triumph comes as no surprise• to Michael Wood of Teen Research Unlimited. The cqmpany, which tracks teen likes and dislikes for the use of corporate America, said the original Scream ranks as the No. 1 favorite film of teen girls (it ranks . No. 4 for boys). Its popularity is fueled, in part, by video rentals; the . movie was the No. I rental for five weeks in a row this summer. "Teens are SQ into movies," Wood said. "Movies are really, really hot for teens." In fact, when the research company asked teens to rate an activity as "in" or "out," 91 percent rated f of San F~sco. Reines and his friend Dave Fisher, also 18, like comedies the best (especially those with Jim Cartey), followed by action films. . · "Love stories and 90210 stuff isn't cool," said Fisher, who calls "FaceiOff," with John Thavolta and Nicolas Cage, "one of the greatest movies ever.

The nation's largest retailer is benefiting from conservative consumers looking for value. Analysts say. discounters are among the best performers this holiday season: In November, revenue at WaiMart stores open at IC&!It a year increased 6 percent over a year earlier. "That's a pretty good number," said Fahnestock analyst William Armstrong. "In general, discounters did better because people are looking for a bargain." Kmart's same-store revenue is up 5.4 .percent, and Target's is up 4. 7 percent, while retailers overall averaged a 3.5 percent increase. But more important to Wall Street, Wai-Mart tackled inventory problems that had depressed its stock despite strong revenue and earnings. Since 1993, Wai·Mart's revenue has more than doubled. from $55 billion to an estimated $120 billion for the fiscal year ending Jan. 31. Earnings rose from 87 cents per share to $1.54. Yet the stock's price languished until March. It closed Friday at $38 5/8, off 15116. That's up from a low this year of $22. Sl)ares ofWai-Mart drifted as the retailing giaht wrestled with a glut of inventory, international expansion and an emphasis on "supercenters," which combine groceries and general merchandise in the same store . Technology and more efficient management have helped Wai-Mart handle the flow of merchandise in and out of its I ,904 stores better, said John Menzer. chief financial officer. For example. third-quaner inven· tories rose I percent to $19.3 billion from a year ago. But revenue climbed 12 percent to $28 .7 billion, Menzer said. · "When you bring your inventories down, you have a clearer focus and you can move a lot quicker. That is providing for a leaner.. more prof· itable company," said Jeffrey Edel· man, stock analyst at PaineWebber. Other issues: Supercenters. The one-stop shopping concept is reshaping the company's domestic growth. There are 436 supercenters. Some include banking, fast-food outlets, pharma· cies and playrooms for shoppers' children. "Supercenters are our primary arowth vehicle."

But it's not. It's part of a new breed rolling out across the country tha't blurs the line between shopping and !}Ierne parks. Retail executives have seized on developing new kinds of entertainment-based venues to lure crowds. They've given the trend a name: "shoppertainment." ' In the past, malls were largely responsible for creating gimmicks to draw shoppers, like the miniamusement park inside the colossal Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. Now, the razzmatazz is being built into stores themselves. Retailers want to become destinations, where customers shop, dine and are entertained for hours. "It's really caught on in the past two years," said Arthur Andersen retail consultant Jay Scansaroli. "People are looking for more fun ways to spend t~eir time:" Trying to cash in on fun: • Ogde~ Entertainment hatched American Wilderness Experience, an indoor zoo featuring 100 species of animals at a mall in Ontario, Calif. The attraction itself takes 90 minutes to explore, said.an Ogden representative said. Opened in October, it combines a Wilderness Grill restaurant, a WildRide motion-simulator theater and a store. 'IWo more are planned next ye~~r. · • Disney plans to open DisneyQuest. a chain of interactive gaming, tetail and dining centers in department store-sized buildings. $ample attraction: a virtual jungle cruise and a motion·simulator water ride in which the scenery chanses depending on the direction in which canoeists paddle.

Expansion. With more than 2,700 tT.!i. stores, including the wholesale Sam's Clubs for shoppers whq buy in bulk, Wai-Mart is steadily movins into foreign markets. Six years after opening its first international store in Me•ico, it has 573 in Canada, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Brazil, China and Indonesia. And it plans to add 21 Wertkauf stores. a chain of,supercenters in Germany with revenue of $1.4 billion. Wai·Mart's purchase of the chain, announced last week and due to close at the end of the month, would mark its entrance into Europe. Menzer said the company will open about 50 stores abroad next year. "A third of earnings growth will come from international over the next three to five years," he said. • ..... ' . . .

A tradition holds that the ;l,tews could find only a small con~ner of sanctified . oil to rekindle -!i11e lampstand, or menorah, that illu· :.)l}_inated the sanctuary. Miraculous.\jy, however, the oil lasted for eight ~~ys- hence an origin of the eight· ~y festival. ~· This week, Jews around the :world remember the event by light· ·-ing their ·own Hanukkah lamps, ; whose wondrous variety evokes not ~,only the rich history of the Jewish ~pte but the diversity that lies at -tl\e heart of art. 1: · Although Hanukkah lamps are ~commonly referred to as menorahs. ,~1his is technically incorrect, says .;susan Braunstein, curator of archae· (;otogy and · Judaica at the Jewish l-Museum in Manhattan, which boasts pbe largest and most comprehensive ~ollection of Hanukkah lamps ;tt,250, although only a portion of '1hcse arc on display). t·' The tenn "J!lenorah" refers to the ~ven-branch limpstand that illumi~l!ated the ancient Tabernacle and t~lluminates the sanctuaries of many hynagogues today.

There is · another type ol Hanukbh lamp - the bench type, whicll consists of a row of eighl oil containen or candleholders, often supported ,by a back plllle and legs, (In 19111-century Europe, it became popular to transform the bench type . into represenwions of furnishings, AI the Jewish Museum, you'll see bench-type lamps that look like elegantlillle couches and tiny chairs.) Some Hanukkal) lamps include a ninth light, or servitor ("shammash" in HebreVf), which provi<!ed a utilitarian complement to the eight sacred lights. "The Hanukkah lamp couldn't he used to illumine a room or read by," Braunstein says. "You were usins the ninth light to read by." Today, !he servitor is used to light . lhe other candles. You li(lht one on the first night, two on the second and so on. The candles are placed in their holders right to left but lit left to right. The lights should be all the same level, and the wicks should be fixed. Having said this, Braunstein s~ys there are really very few proscnp· tions on the style .of lamp. This has given free reign to the imaginations of Jewish craftsmen. Indeed, the museum has a case filled with about 40 Hanu,kkah l~ps that alone. will dazzle vtsnon wnh tts sea of stlver and the sheer inventiveness of design. Because of the Diaspora, n~cessi· ty really was the· mother of mven· tion. "Many times ~ews paid homage in the_ Hanukkah lamps to the cou~; tnes m whtch they ·were hvmg, it's important to maintain aood ~la­ tions." Among the most imposins lamps in ~ collection is a 19tb<CRtury German one in the form of a house, · complete with a balustrade, columns and a gable that contains a Hebrew clock. The facade suucsu the home of a prosperous btu'gher. Far ·more whimsical and delicate is the "Lamp with KanJII'OOI and Emus," from 19th-century Australia. This was originally an Australian souvenir, popular in Victorian E!Da· land. (An emu egg huna in the bean· shaped frame of silvery fotieae.) 11lc row of oil containers was lidded later - illustrating once again the adaptability of the artistic spjril. The two Hanukkah lamps are excellent examples of three of the four ltinds of desisns - ~rchitectur· al. plant and animal. The fourth kind deals with heroic figures, often the beautiful, courageous Judith. tradi· tionally viewed as an ancestress of Judah Maceatx!e. Judith is a woman after our own hearts. To save her people from Assyrian attack, she beguiled the enemy general Holofernes, although she did not succumb, of course, to his lecherous embrace. With Holofemes asleep, she sliced off his head and won the' day. · Judith was a particularly popular subject iQ Renaissance art, where she was sometimes depicted sawing off Holofemes' head. In the Jewish Museum's heroic Hanukkah lamps, the agony of decapitation is nowhere to be found. Judith stands serenely - a sword in one hand, the head in the other.

But the militaristic aspect of the story does reappear, she aays, in Hanukkah (amps created after the modem state of Israel was established in 1948. Contemporary American Hanukkah lamps reflect all the wildness of the American spirit.

Women have been skiinJ and snow boarding for years on gear made for a 200-pound man. · But no longer. The outdoor industry finally got die message: Women want more than to look cute on the slopes. "In die past, women bad to go down one step in technical gear," says Frank Schultz, co-owner of Base Camp, an outfitter in Bellingbam, Wash. "Formerly, women just bad to buy small men's clothing that didn't fit too well." "People have started to realize that there are women who are hardcore, who are good and who are aggressive - and that they need to be in the right gear," says Nicole Loberg, manager of the ski shop at Yeager's Sporting Goods and Marine, also in Bellingham. In fact, women's gear is the fastest growing segment of the outdoor market, reports Lesli Brewster, cO'-owner of Sportsman Chalet in Bellingham, Wash. Women can now get a ski suit with real ventilation, including "pit zips" under ann vents that prevent sweating. New this year is a Gore-Tex. high-end ski suit by Schaffel with pit zips and extn pockets ($698). Mountain Hard War also has ~out with a new Gn-'lex jacket ($390) that's made to lit a woman's arm length and torso, Schultz says. For women who want warmth and dryness from their outdoor clothing, but don't like the technical-look, check out Nils, Brewster says. · Nils cranberry ski jacket ($~) and pants ($160) arc made of Micro Fiber, which resembles silk. "The fibers are so tightly woven, die water just beads off," Brewster says. Patagonia also bas a new Syncbillajacket ($110) thet's very fashionable and very warm, Schultz' says. And no more feeling like the Pillsbury Dough Girl. New women's Polypropylene long underwear is thin and made to lit (top and pants, $29.9~ each). In equipment, look for skis and snowboards that allow better maneuverability, Loberg says. "Companies are making skis for the woman's weight," Brewster adds. She recommends Volant's Power Curve L ($480) or the Dynastar Big Max L ($329). Loberg suggests Radius K-V skis ($439). Mounts for ski bindings for women should also be slightly more forward, Loberg says. "Women ski from their hips, not their knees, like men do: Their center of gravity is women's ski boola for shoner calves. The boots have a cut-out in the beck of the calf and narrower width and heel pockets. Rossianot makes a biJb-cnd cqJert women's boot ($469). "The reality is, our morpholoJY is different from men's," says Jeanoe-Mirie Ganci, vice president ofcommunicationandadvertisinget Rossignol.

But I yearned secretly for that shiny yellow metal Tonka truck like the ones my cousin David bad. He had a killer collection of Matchbox cars, too. I was discouraged fi'om playing with all of them when we went to visit because little ladies shouldn't play with boy toys. I was steered toward the blocks, the most acceptable toy for a little girl in a household of boys. Little ladies weren '! encouraged to run and jump too much, either.

Dividing holiday chores and . deciding which inlaws and friends to spend time with also requires good communication. If these discussion lines aren't open, resentment can build, adding more stress and frustration to the season, says Larry Kubiak, director of psycboiOJY at Tallahassee Memorial Regional Medical Center in Florida. Traditionally, women perform the bulk of holiday chores such as cooking, cleaning, entertaining and shopping but men must begin offering a hand, Kubiak says.

By MIKE PULFER The Clnelnnatl Enqulrar The choo-choo bug. the one that makes people delight over the sights and sounds of pretend rail trans· pcnation. can bite you just about anywhere, at any age. Nathan Gober, not even 3 at the time, was innocently watching television when his grandmother surprised him with a videotape on trains. That was about a year ago. Now, "He 's really gotten into it," says grandma Marjorie Meyers of Harrison, Ohio. "He knows the steam engines and all the cars." William Wagner, 4, has been fascinated since infancy, when he sat strapped in his dad's car, waiting at railroad crossings in Union Township, Ohio. "You can't go anywhere out there wilhout waiting for a train,\' jokes Mike Wagner, William's father, who now lives in Sycamore Township, Ohio. "He always loved to sit in the·car and watch them ." Both boys are still a little young for electric train sets and sophisticated accessories, e,xpens and their parents agree. Basic wooden and plastic train ~ets, built for the younger set, can he pushed on the floor or on plastic paths rather than tracks. , But give little Nathan and young William about five years and a pair of bib overalls and they'll be ready for some of the model trains and equipment the adult kids play with, sometimes to the tune of thousands of dollars. "The first question we always ask (model train shoppers) is, 'How old is the child,"' says Sue Wendt, manager at Johnny's Toys in Cov- ington, Ky. "All of our electric trains recommend age 8... , but it depends on whether the child is going to be supervised or playing alone." The second question: How much do you want to spend? "Depending on the manufacturer, starter sets can go from $170 and up," says Chris Wermuth, a manag· er at Western Hills Hobby in Cincin· nati. "With trains, the sky's the limit." Dealers and hobbyists say jumping the gun can be a mistake. " Most mistakes are linked to costs," says Scott Firth, show cochairman of the Cincinnati division of the National Model Railroad Association. "The biggest thing is, don't go overboard with expensive models when they're (kids) too little. The best thing is to wait until m~ans . they reach a point wheR they don't view them as a toy."

Kaczynski's superior intelligence made his reactions "more elaborate," Sowards said. · Despite a rei iance on the menllil illness approach, Sowards said Kaczynski had offered to drop that defense in the main trial and undergo some testing if allowed to present broader psychiatric evidepce in the penalty phase. He could be sentenced .to die if convicted on the most serious charges. . Prosecutors said no, saying the defense still refuses to give them equal access to Kaczynski and wants to screen questions from government psychiatric expens. The government contends that Kaczynski is responsible for all 16 Unabomber attacks, which left three people ·dead and 29 others injured over 18 .years. He is charged separately in New Jersey with lhe third fatality. · Lead prosecutor Robert Cleary called for U.S. District Judge Garland Burrell Jr. to ban all or most testimony on mental illness as a punish· men! for Kaczynski's refusal to undergo prosecution testing. . . "It wasn't until the lith hour that w.e were advised that he wasn't going to submit to testing ... that he was afraid of government psychiatrists," Cleary said. Burrell asked for final written arguments on the dispute, and said he would issue a ruling shonly. Opening statements in the trial are scheduled for Jan. 5. The judge has said he will likely allow some testimony on ~zynski's mental state, possibly by experts who will analyze voluminous writings found in his Montana cabin after his arrest in April 1996. The judge ordered the defense to give notice within 10 days if they plan to introduce psychiatric evidence in their bid to save Kaczynski's life in the penalty phase.

Rab-bi Sam Shapiro referred to this in his scnnon at the sh~~ adding that the world would be a more peaceful place if only all religions would be tolerant of other!;' beliefs. ..On their reluming homc,lhe Rab-bi's·wife, Lucyle. said, "That was an excellent sermon, darling.

Elyse, the declarer, could see seven top tricks. She could play. for EaSt to have the bean ace, but surely it was better to go after three club tricks.
